Warning
Placing tempdb on the local temp disk for Azure VM images with uninitialized ephemeral disks, such as the FXmdsv2, isn't supported. This issue only affects Azure Virtual Machines with the new NVMe interface that also has local ephemeral storage. These deployments through the Azure portal might fail, and SQL Server can fail to start. Either use a different VM series, or place tempdb on non-ephemeral storage both when you deploy the SQL Server image through the Azure portal, and when you install SQL Server manually. To learn more more about the issue and also see a list of impacted VMs, review VM deployment and SQL Server failures.
