Attach VHD(x) to more than one VM at the same time
Attach VHD(x) to more than one VM at the same time
Having an option to attach the same VHD to a set of VMs would allow creating real HA clusters for single node applications - like databases. Storage could work just like iSCSI/FC/SAS SAN, being presented to two nodes, mounted on one. Also that would allow usage of GFS/OCFS2 filesystems to share data between cluster nodes if desired. AzureFiles suffers from every problem SMB have and is unreliable at best. The only other option is shared-nothing filesystems like moosefs/glusterfs.
as far as I know there is "Shared VHDX" functionality in hyper-v for years now
Even NFS (as amazon efs is built upon) or iSCSI targets would be sufficient in many cases.
