Create Azure VM from existing VHD without powershell

As for 28/05/2018 I'm wondering if we can create a VM from VDH without using the azure powershell templates. I found many tutorials on the web, I tried one saying to attach vhd to current VM through a storage account. But thats not what I want since the vm runs with the predifined linux, and not the one attached in the VM.

Solution

  • You can go to here :

    https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Template/uri/https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fazure%2Fazure-quickstart-templates%2Fmaster%2F201-vm-specialized-vhd-existing-vnet%2Fazuredeploy.json

    and fill the needed information. The VM will then automatically be deployed from the VDH uri
