Description
_This issue was originally opened by @shannawaz in https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/8073 and has been migrated to this repository. The original issue description is below._
---
Currently **"disk_caching_type"** for Azure is applicable to both OS and data disks. We have a used case to enable caching for OS disks and disable caching for data disks. Having separate parameters for OS and Data would help greatly.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Azure plugin handling for the disk_caching_type parameter and trace how it applies to OS and data disks. Confirm the expected parameter names and behavior for independently enabling OS-disk caching while disabling it for data disks; the work is done when both disk types can be configured separately.
