I have several questions about upgrade azure vnios up to 9.0.1. Checking doc it is recommended to provision up to 500gb but there's no option at os level to increase filesystem. We could only increase os disk but not resize FS, isn't it or it is necessary to chance os image?It talked about resizable image but I have doubts about it. Kind regards
500GB is the default disk size for virtual NIOS from 9.0 onwards. However, existing virtual NIOS solutions with 250GB disks will work just fine if you upgrade them to NIOS 9.0.x.
The only way to get a 500GB disk space is to redeploy the VM with a NIOS 9.0.x image.

It seems you're right that Azure does allow increasing the OS disk size, but resizing the filesystem may require manual steps. You could try using tools like lvextend or resize2fs for Linux systems, or the Disk Management tool in Windows to expand the filesystem after increasing the disk size.
500GB is for new deployments. At some point in the future you may have/want to redeploy the VM with 500GB but you don't have to unless there is a good reason.
Never try and resize a deployed VM. Never ever touch the resizable image unless PS tell you to.
