Deployment Guide

first time a block is written to. Subsequent writes have the same performance as eager-zeroed
thick disks.
b. Thick Provision Eager Zeroed [Recommended]
An eager-zeroed thick disk has all the space allocated and zeroed out at the time of creation.
This increases the time it takes to create the disk, but results in the best performance, even on
the first write to each block.
c. Thin Provision [Not Recommended]
Space required for a thin-provisioned virtual disk is allocated and zeroed upon first write, as
opposed to upon creation. There is a higher I/O cost (similar to that of lazy-zeroed thick disks)
during the first write to an unwritten file block, but on subsequent writes thin-provisioned disks
have the same performance as eager-zeroed thick disks.
