[Azure Server-side Encryption](../articles/virtual-machines/windows/disk-encryption.md) provides encryption-at-rest and safeguards your data to meet your organizational security and compliance commitments. Server-side encryption is enabled by default for all managed disks, snapshots, and images in all the regions where managed disks are available. You can either allow Azure to manage your keys for you, these are platform-managed keys, or you can manage the keys yourself, these are customer-managed keys. Visit the [Managed Disks FAQ page](../articles/virtual-machines/windows/faq-for-disks.md#managed-disks-and-storage-service-encryption) for more details.

Every VM contains a temporary disk, which is not a managed disk. The temporary disk provides short-term storage for applications and processes and is intended to only store data such as page or swap files. Data on the temporary disk may be lost during a [maintenance event](../articles/virtual-machines/windows/manage-availability.md?toc=%2fazure%2fvirtual-machines%2fwindows%2ftoc.json#understand-vm-reboots---maintenance-vs-downtime) event or when you [redeploy a VM](../articles/virtual-machines/troubleshooting/redeploy-to-new-node-windows.md?toc=%2Fazure%2Fvirtual-machines%2Fwindows%2Ftoc.json). On Azure Linux VMs, the temporary disk is /dev/sdb by default and on Windows VMs the temporary disk is D: by default. During a successful standard reboot of the VM, the data on the temporary disk will persist.
