SYNOPSIS
az disk subcommand [options]
DESCRIPTION
az disk manages Azure managed disks. Managed disks are block-level storage volumes managed by Azure and used with Azure Virtual Machines. They simplify disk management by handling storage account management automatically.
Supported storage types include Standard HDD (StandardLRS), Standard SSD (StandardSSDLRS), Premium SSD (PremiumLRS), Premium SSD v2 (PremiumV2LRS), and Ultra Disk (UltraSSD_LRS).
PARAMETERS

The name of the managed disk.--resource-group -g
Name of resource group.--size-gb -z
Size in GB of the managed disk.--source
Source disk, snapshot, or URI to create the disk from.--sku
Storage type: StandardLRS, PremiumLRS, StandardSSDLRS, UltraSSDLRS, PremiumZRS, StandardSSDZRS.--location -l
Location of the disk.
