Create a Azure Virtual Machine with a Data Disk already attached
It feels weird to ask this question when there’s plenty of resources out there that explain how to attach a data disk to an Azure virtual machine AFTER the virtual machine has been created, but this is what I’m trying to grasp.
I’ve created one virtual machine and, as far as I can remember, in the Create Virtual Machine wizard, there was the option to choose both the OS disk size (ie: 127Gb in size) and to add to create a data disk (ie: 1024Gb in size). Now that I have this virtual machine running, when I try to create a second virtual machine, there is no option to create a data disk in the wizard.
Is there some resource-related restriction in place that is forcing me to add the data disk later? I'm absolutely certain that I did not add a data disk to my first VM after it was created. I’m trying to wrap my head around this creation process and it’s really hard.
