both answers incorrect. Get-AzDisk is used to check disk type. SAP on Azure for prod deployments should use Managed Premium disks only and not Standard ones for database

1. get-azdisk Get-AzDisk [[-ResourceGroupName] <String>] [[-DiskName] <String>] [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>] [<CommonParameters>] 2. Business requirement - Ensure that all the production databases can withstand the failure of an Azure region. Hence Standard_RAGRS - Standard Read-Access Geo Replicated Storage

Get-AzDisk is correct because the disk are stored in storage account and it is the one that gets replication e.g. LRS or GRS etc. It is not the VM which gets replicated.

ya, i saw this -ne as well in the command. Get-AzDisk -resourcegroupname "SAPProduction" | Where {$_.Sku.Name -ne "Standard_RAGRS"} This command to get the disk information from the SAPProduction resource group where the SKU name is not equal to Standard_RAGRS

The command Get-AZVMimage has not parameter "-ResourceGroupName" and the object(VMImage) that returned from the command Get-AZVMimage has not sku property but skus(like "2012-R2-Datacenter"). so the answers given are wrong. the correct answers should be Get-AzDisk & Primium_LRS. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.compute/get-azvmimage?view=azps-4.6.1 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.compute/get-azdisk?view=azps-4.6.1

I'm sorry, the next answer should be Standard RA-GRS, because of the Business requirement - "Ensure that all the production databases can withstand the failure of an Azure region."

I want to correct the second answer again, the correct answer should be "Primium_LRS". https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/workloads/sap/planning-guide-storage#azure-standard-ssd-storage and we should recommend another solution to meet the Business requirement - "Ensure that all the production databases can withstand the failure of an Azure region."

I want to share the information below to support my answer: The type of Standard_RAGRS is for unmanaged disk, according to the template, the disks are managed disks, and Managed disks are only available for Locally Redundant Storage (LRS). https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/managed-disks/

Get-AzDisk and Premium_LRS. These allow to verify the requirement for Production Systems.

but Get-AzDisk and Premium_LRS with -ne option means we get list of disk all but Premium_LRS type, so it is not supported for prod sap env

from script it is clearly mentioned that the creation of disk should be from the image so Get-AZVMimage is appropriate and where the requirement is that the production should be protected from failure of a region only disk that support it are standard_RAGRS

Get-AZVMimage have not the parameter SKU refering to the disk, it concerns the image for OS, see the link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.compute/get-azvmimage?view=azps-5.2.0#example-1--get-vmimage-objects
