Valid characters:
Alphanumerics, underscores, and hyphens.
location Resource location string (required)
parent_id To deploy to a resource group, use the ID of that resource group. string (required)
tags Resource tags Dictionary of tag names and values.

extendedLocation The extended location where the disk will be created. Extended location cannot be changed. ExtendedLocation
properties Disk resource properties. DiskProperties
zones The Logical zone list for Disk. Array of availability zones as string or int.

ExtendedLocation

Name Description Value
name The name of the extended location. string
type The type of the extended location. "EdgeZone"

DiskProperties

Name Description Value
burstingEnabled Set to true to enable bursting beyond the provisioned performance target of the disk. Bursting is disabled by default. Does not apply to Ultra disks. bool
completionPercent Percentage complete for the background copy when a resource is created via the CopyStart operation. int
creationData Disk source information. CreationData information cannot be changed after the disk has been created. CreationData (required)
dataAccessAuthMode Additional authentication requirements when exporting or uploading to a disk or snapshot. "AzureActiveDirectory"
"None"
diskAccessId ARM id of the DiskAccess resource for using private endpoints on disks. string
diskIOPSReadWrite The number of IOPS allowed for this disk; only settable for UltraSSD disks. One operation can transfer between 4k and 256k bytes. int
diskMBpsReadWrite The bandwidth allowed for this disk; only settable for UltraSSD disks. MBps means millions of bytes per second - MB here uses the ISO notation, of powers of 10. int
diskSizeGB If creationData.createOption is Empty, this field is mandatory and it indicates the size of the disk to create. If this field is present for updates or creation with other options, it indicates a resize. Resizes are only allowed if the disk is not attached to a running VM, and can only increase the disk's size. int
encryption Encryption property can be used to encrypt data at rest with customer managed keys or platform managed keys. Encryption

hyperVGeneration The hypervisor generation of the Virtual Machine. Applicable to OS disks only. "V1"
"V2"
maxShares The maximum number of VMs that can attach to the disk at the same time. Value greater than one indicates a disk that can be mounted on multiple VMs at the same time. int
networkAccessPolicy Policy for accessing the disk via network. "AllowAll"
"AllowPrivate"
"DenyAll"
optimizedForFrequentAttach Setting this property to true improves reliability and performance of data disks that are frequently (more than 5 times a day) by detached from one virtual machine and attached to another. This property should not be set for disks that are not detached and attached frequently as it causes the disks to not align with the fault domain of the virtual machine. bool
osType The Operating System type. "Linux"
"Windows"
publicNetworkAccess Policy for controlling export on the disk. "Disabled"
"Enabled"
purchasePlan Purchase plan information for the the image from which the OS disk was created. E.g. - {name: 2019-Datacenter, publisher: MicrosoftWindowsServer, product: WindowsServer} PurchasePlan
securityProfile Contains the security related information for the resource. DiskSecurityProfile
supportedCapabilities List of supported capabilities for the image from which the OS disk was created. SupportedCapabilities
supportsHibernation Indicates the OS on a disk supports hibernation. bool
tier Performance tier of the disk (e.g, P4, S10) as described here: https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/managed-disks/. Does not apply to Ultra disks. string
