How are you managing ephemeral/temp disks on newer Azure v6 Linux VMs?
Recently we started deploying more Azure v6 Linux VMs and noticed that temporary/resource disks are no longer automatically mounted like they were on older v5 instances.
On older VM types we mostly relied on waagent/cloud-init behavior and used the temp disk mainly for swap space. With v6 NVMe temp disks this no longer seems consistent, so now I’m considering handling the whole thing ourselves with a custom systemd service + script (disk discovery, RAID if needed, filesystem creation, mount, swap setup, etc).
Interested especially in Linux/SLES/RHEL production setups.
