        Specifies whether data disk should be deleted or detached upon VM deletion. Possible values: Delete If this value is used, the data disk is deleted when VM is deleted. Detach If this value is used, the data disk is retained after VM is deleted. The default value is set to detach.

      • detachOption optional - string

        Specifies the detach behavior to be used while detaching a disk or which is already in the process of detachment from the virtual machine. Supported values: ForceDetach. detachOption: ForceDetach is applicable only for managed data disks. If a previous detachment attempt of the data disk did not complete due to an unexpected failure from the virtual machine and the disk is still not released then use force-detach as a last resort option to detach the disk forcibly from the VM. All writes might not have been flushed when using this detach behavior. This feature is still in preview mode and is not supported for VirtualMachineScaleSet. To force-detach a data disk update toBeDetached to 'true' along with setting detachOption: 'ForceDetach'.
