Yes, both unmanaged and managed disks are supported. We recommend that you use managed disks for new workloads and migrate your current workloads to managed disks.

Yes, but they'll be [retired by September 30, 2025](unmanaged-disks-deprecation.md), and as of November 1, 2022, new customer subscriptions won't be eligible to create unmanaged disks. We recommend that you use managed disks for new workloads and migrate your current workloads to managed disks.

In 2017, we launched [Azure managed disks](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/announcing-general-availability-of-managed-disks-and-larger-scale-sets/). We've been enhancing capabilities ever since. Because Azure managed disks now have full capabilities of unmanaged disks and other advancements, we will begin deprecating unmanaged disks on September 13, 2022. This functionality will be fully retired on September 30, 2025.

With managed disks, you don't have to worry about managing storage accounts for creating a disk, because Azure manages the storage accounts under the hood. The abstraction reduces maintenance overhead for you. Also, it allows managed disks to provide numerous benefits over unmanaged disks, such as better [reliability](manage-availability.md#use-managed-disks-for-vms-in-an-availability-set), [scalability](../azure-resource-manager/management/azure-subscription-service-limits.md#virtual-machine-disk-limits), large disks, [bursting](disk-bursting.md), and [shared disks](disks-shared-enable.md). If you use unmanaged disks, start planning your [Windows](windows/convert-unmanaged-to-managed-disks.md) or [Linux](linux/convert-unmanaged-to-managed-disks.md) migration now. Complete it by September 30, 2025, to take advantage of Azure managed disks.
