The existing README for the Azure Linux template only mentioned that the VM is ephemeral and the managed disk is persistent, but did not explain that the resource group, virtual network, subnet, and network interface also persist when a workspace is stopped.

This led to confusion where users expected all Azure resources to be cleaned up on stop, when in reality only the VM is destroyed.

Changes

  • Added the persistent networking/infrastructure resources to the resource list
  • Added "What happens on stop" section explaining which resources persist and why
  • Added "What happens on delete" section confirming all resources are cleaned up
  • Moved the existing note about ephemeral tools/files into a "Workspace restarts" subsection for clarity
