Disk striping for Azure disks

Question

Can any one let me know, Is Disk striping is possible with Azure standard SSD or Standard HDD disks?

I found MS documentation that describes. Disk striping can be done to increase IOPS and size for Premium disk types.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/premium-storage-performance

I want to ensure whether it is possible with azure standard disks to increase iops.
For example: If i want to achieve 1000iops can i strip 2 standard disks. if so can you please share the MS doc

We only mention Premium storage on that page, but yes you can use Standard disks. This is mentioned on the Linux RAID page. In the Disk Striping section we mention some best practices and also link to other documentation to SQL Server best practices.

For assistance setting up striping in Windows I will refer you to the Storage Spaces documentation. If you have further questions you can post a thread using the appropriate windows-server tag.

How do we calculate the Striping Storage costs, does it same as the Standard HDD or Standard SSD, which one we should use for the cost calculations.
