Some of the newest Azure VM sizes present a RAW local SSD volume for ephemeral storage configured with the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) interface. This configuration results in failure because SQL Server attempts to place the `tempdb` database on the ephemeral storage and fails as the local SSD volume isn't available. Additionally, the ephemeral storage shows as RAW after the machine is deallocated.

The RAW local SSD volume causes the SQL VM deployment to fail, and prevents manually installed SQL Server instances from coming online after the VM is restarted. In both cases, SQL Server is trying to initialize the `tempdb` database on the ephemeral storage, which isn't available. The deployment fails because SQL Server is installed during the deployment of the Azure VM, and the ephemeral storage isn't available. Likewise, manually installed instances of SQL Server fail to come online after the VM is restarted because the ephemeral storage isn't available when SQL Server tries to create the `tempdb` database.
