Yesterday, Microsoft sent me (and presumably thousands of other users) an e-mail telling me that I need to migrate our "classic storage account" . However upon closer inspection of the Azure portal, the only such accounts are artifacts of the existence of virtual machine disks, and none of the links in the e-mail provide any meaningful help for that scenario.
In particular:
- There is no information on how to store virtual machine disks in this new storage management regime.
- There is no table of how different "classic" virtual machine disk types map to to the new weirdly named concepts and pricing tiers.
The closest thing to an answer is that some old, gobbledygook-filled guides for moving virtual machines from azure classic to azure resource manager stated that there was no direct equivalent, but that migration of the disks would supposedly work because of the continued support for classic storage, which is no help at all now that they are sending out e-mails about ending that feature.
Note that by gobledygook I refer to starting the instructions with a barrage of feature and concept names that make sense only to the Azure team itself, and might mean something different (or nothing at all) in any other company.
