Microsoft E30 Standard SSD Managed Disk Storage

Attach persistent Standard SSD managed disk capacity to Azure Government virtual machines with the E30 storage tier. E30 provides 1 TiB of managed block storage for operating system disks, application volumes, and data volumes that must remain available independently of the virtual machine lifecycle. Microsoft manages the underlying disk service while administrators attach, detach, resize, snapshot, and configure disks through Azure management tools. The E30 tier establishes a 1,024 GiB capacity point with baseline performance of up to 500 IOPS and 60 MB/s. Standard SSD storage fits workloads where predictable persistent capacity matters more than the higher performance profile associated with premium disk tiers. Its managed-disk format removes the need to create and maintain virtual hard disk files in a customer-managed storage account for each attached volume. Microsoft 9BFD18C217FA applies specifically to E30 Standard SSD Managed Disk Storage in the Azure Government environment. Select this capacity tier when the virtual machine design calls for approximately 1 TiB per disk and the expected I/O profile remains within the E30 baseline. It represents cloud storage capacity, not a physical SSD, controller, or server component.
