How to find if a Virtual Machine is using managed/Unmanaged disks in Azure

Question

Is there a way in Azure to find if a VM in azure created to with Managed/Unmanaged disks?

Answer 1

This information is available in another area of the Azure portal as well. Go to the 'Virtual machines' list in the portal, click the 'Columns' button, and add a column called "Uses Managed Disks".

Answer 2

To add to Jason Ye's answer, you can also run a similar command in Azure CLI 2.0. The command is:

az vm show -g rg_name -n vm_name

And the output for non-managed disk is:

  ...
  "osDisk": {
      "caching": "ReadWrite",
      "createOption": "fromImage",
      "diskSizeGb": 32,
      "encryptionSettings": null,
      "image": null,
      "managedDisk": null,
      "name": "rhel-un",
      "osType": "Linux",
      "vhd": {
        "uri": "https://storageaccountname.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/....vhd"
      }

And for managed disk:

...
"osDisk": {
  "caching": "ReadWrite",
  "createOption": "fromImage",
  "diskSizeGb": 32,
  "encryptionSettings": null,
  "image": null,
  "managedDisk": {
    "id": "/subscriptions/sub_id/resourceGroups/rg_name/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/rhel_OsDisk_1...",
    "resourceGroup": "rg_name",
    "storageAccountType": "Standard_LRS"
  },
  "name": "rhel_OsDisk_1...",
  "osType": "Linux",
  "vhd": null
}
