Changed os and data disk defaults to Premium SSD

[garvct]

Changed the default OS and data disk to Premium SSD's so there are no performance surprises when an NFS server or OS disk is created with default settings.

Good for me

Are you sure we should be giving premium disk by default? That is an expensive option. Especially for the OS disk which would be mostly cached. It's definitely not an ARM default... (and we never had it as a default even for a fileserver...)

[edwardsp]

These are all configurable anyway in the config. Let's keep the defaults as they were.

[garvct]

I think Premium_SSD's will typically deliver better performance than Standard SSD's. For Production environments/benchmarking I think Premium SSD's would be preferred.
If we leave Standard SSD's as the default at minimum I would like to see it as a mandatory option in the config file, so its clear that Standard SSD's are used and not Premium SSD's.

re-opened.

Shall we discuss and decide as a group on this one next team meeting?

[xpillons]

Let's build a fully documented schema of the config file structure and values and add a link to it in all examples

[xpillons]

Please add the os_storage_sku and storage_sku in the config files with these values too so users will know which properties to change.

My preference would be to create a separate PR updating config files explicitly including the disk type parameter. Would that be ok?

Sure
