I just created x-small virtual machine for testing. Few questions, so I can better understand it
system created 2 drives local C (126GB) and D (20GB).
- 126GB - is it included in price of VM ? I read some articles and all say the OS drive is 30GB - so is it 30GB or 126GB and is this included in price of VM + is the size of the drive different for small, large instance ?
- is the data on the C (OS) drive redundant ? and how ?
- I want install sql express 2012 on that machine and run 2 maybe 3 .net sites, so the sql and sites data will be stored on C (OS) drive - is that OK ? I really don't want to mount extra drives etc. but want to make sure it os OK to store data on that C drive
- I run single instance so what will happened in case of hardware failure ? will azure platform attach my OS drive to different machine ?
Thank you
