Premium (SSD) managed disks for Azure VM Scale Set

Question

I've been trying to get Premium managed disks (SSD) enabled for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets, but I don't seem to get it setup.

Standard (HHD) seems to work for managed disks.

Anybody got this working?

Answer 1

Just pick SSD capable VM's when creating the VMSS.

The VMSS portal page would say that its still using HDD, but if you check the actual resource properties it would say:

"storageProfile": {
    "osDisk": {
        "createOption": "FromImage",
        "caching": "ReadWrite",
        "managedDisk": {
            "storageAccountType": "Premium_LRS"
        }
    },
    "imageReference": {
        "publisher": "MicrosoftWindowsServer",
        "offer": "WindowsServer",
        "sku": "2016-Datacenter",
        "version": "latest"
    }
},
