The Azure Disks Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver is a CSI specification-compliant driver used by Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to manage the lifecycle of Azure Disk. It includes the resource Id of the parent snapshot, location that is same as the location of parent snapshot and the storage type.Ĭreates a disk using disk configuration, disk name, and resource group name passed as parameters.Ĭreate a virtual machine from a managed diskįor more information on the Azure PowerShell module, see Azure PowerShell documentation.Īdditional virtual machine PowerShell script samples can be found in the Azure Windows VM documentation.Use the Azure Disk Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) CommandĬreates disk configuration that is used for disk creation. Each command in the table links to command specific documentation. This script uses following commands to create a managed disk from a snapshot.

It should be greater than the VHD file size. #Provide the name of the snapshot that will be used to create Managed Disks $resourceGroupName ='yourResourceGroupName' Sample script #Provide the subscription Id If you don't have an Azure subscription, create an Azure free account before you begin.

You can also restore data disks of an existing VM by attaching data disks created from snapshots.

Create OS and data managed disks from respective snapshots and then create a new virtual machine by attaching managed disks. Use it to restore a virtual machine from snapshots of OS and data disks.
