I read quite confusing message.

In the link here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/concepts-storage, it said

Azure Disks are mounted as ReadWriteOnce, so are only available to a single pod

But in the link here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/azure-disks-dynamic-pv

A persistent volume can be used by one or many pods, and can be dynamically or statically provisioned.

Is it possible to use Azure Disk for RWX PVC in AKS?

Are there faster file storage for AKS RWX PVC?

    Azure Disks cannot be used for RWX PVC in AKS, Azure Files is the best solution. You can find supported storage devices and their capabilities for AKS Here. Azure Files is the only working native solution on Azure, but it is possible to deploy one of the other supported storage devices in Azure and connect it to your AKS, many of which will likely be faster than Azure Files.
