Hello,
we recently asked ourselves if there is a general difference about how to recover a virtual machine in the cloud compared to on premise.
So normally in an onPrem Vmware cluster I would use a Software like Veeam to recover a virtual machine in a state as it was before.
Doing this in azure, would mean that you will have a virtual machine with a specialized image, which will restrict you with using features such as Update Management Center.
So is it just such a rare case that you really need to recover a vm in the cloud? Or do one need to setup something like ansible so that you will just setup a new „empty“ vm with OS only and will push the configuration via a tool like ansible?
Why is it so difficult in azure to reattach an os-disk?
Thanks in advance for every input
