LRS snapshots and images are currently stored on Premium SSD, however, I want snapshots of Premium SSD managed disks to be stored on Standard SSD. It appears this is an easy election, but I am unable to find how to implement/change this. Blurb from website below:

You can store full snapshots and images for Premium SSD Managed Disks on Standard storage. You can choose between locally redundant (LRS) and Zone redundant (ZRS) snapshot options. These snapshots and images are charged at $0.05/GB per month for both Standard LRS and ZRS options based on the used portion of the disk. For example, if you create a snapshot of a managed disk with provisioned capacity of 64 GB and actual used data size of 10 GB, snapshot will be billed only for the used data size of 10 GB. If you choose to store them on Premium SSD Managed Disk storage, you’ll be charged at $0.132/GB per month.

    This can be done when creating the snapshot. For CLI you use --sku Standard_LRS. From the portal you can select Standard_HDD when creating. Unfortunately it is not possible to convert existing snapshots from Premium_SSD to Standard_HDD. As a workaround you would need to create a disk and then create a new snapshot from that disk.
