Azure Disk Storage vs Google Cloud Persistent Disk

Developers should use Azure Disk Storage when deploying applications on Azure VMs that require reliable, scalable storage for operating systems, databases, or file systems meets developers should use google cloud persistent disk when deploying stateful applications on gcp that require reliable, scalable storage, such as databases, file systems, or containerized workloads. Here's our take.

Azure Disk Storage

Developers should use Azure Disk Storage when deploying applications on Azure VMs that require reliable, scalable storage for operating systems, databases, or file systems

Azure Disk Storage

Nice Pick

Developers should use Azure Disk Storage when deploying applications on Azure VMs that require reliable, scalable storage for operating systems, databases, or file systems

Pros

  • +It is essential for scenarios like running SQL Server, SAP HANA, or other I/O-intensive workloads in the cloud, as it offers performance SLAs and integration with Azure Backup for disaster recovery
  • +Related to: azure-virtual-machines, azure-storage-accounts

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Google Cloud Persistent Disk

Developers should use Google Cloud Persistent Disk when deploying stateful applications on GCP that require reliable, scalable storage, such as databases, file systems, or containerized workloads

Pros

  • +It is essential for scenarios where data must survive VM restarts or migrations, and it integrates seamlessly with services like Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for persistent storage in containerized environments
  • +Related to: google-cloud-platform, google-kubernetes-engine

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Azure Disk Storage if: You want it is essential for scenarios like running sql server, sap hana, or other i/o-intensive workloads in the cloud, as it offers performance slas and integration with azure backup for disaster recovery and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Google Cloud Persistent Disk if: You prioritize it is essential for scenarios where data must survive vm restarts or migrations, and it integrates seamlessly with services like google kubernetes engine (gke) for persistent storage in containerized environments over what Azure Disk Storage offers.

The Bottom Line
Azure Disk Storage wins

Developers should use Azure Disk Storage when deploying applications on Azure VMs that require reliable, scalable storage for operating systems, databases, or file systems
