Upload a Local VM Image to Microsoft Azure

Here I teach you how to create Azure VMs based on operating system images you create in your local, on-premises environment.

TIm i have notice you upload the VHD filename win2016-fixed.vhd (TIME: 7:24) to create an image file in Azure. But the one you show to convert with the filename windows2016b.vhd its different.

[deldunbar]

Everything was "windows2016b.vhd" and then at 7:24 you browsed out to the storage blob and said "and then we'll grab that fixed .vhd we just uploaded" and you selected the win2016-fixed.vhd instead of the windows2016b.vhd file that you were referring to the entire time.

Thanks for sharing. I had an .ova file and pulled the vmdk file from it and extracted the vhd file using the vboxmanage utility via command line. Ran into an issue when trying to create a managed image from the blob storage vhd because I didn't set the flag for the image to be fixed. Corrected it and worked like a charm. Thank you

Hi Tim! Great video - I wonder if you could do one that looks at migrating a VM from VMWare Worksation Pro into Azure. I've made several attempts my self and can confirm I've gotten as far as a functional VM on Azure but it won't let me RDP in!!

[NikeySunfire]

Can you explain why is Gen 2 limited? I didn't get that part.

[munitaker]

Thank you Tim! I can remove the .vhd disc after create the Azure Image??

[razthecyclingdude]

Great. video Tim. Could you do a vid tutorial how to migrate a Virtual Machine from a local VMware Workstation to Azure .

[smarttech]

i tried to upload vhd with 127 GB from azure storage explorer it fails but when uploading small file it accepts upload
can u tell me how i cant upload that. also i need maximum bandwidth to upload it. this snapshot i took from another azure subscription, downloaded to PC and now uploading to another tenant.

[kacykoelliker]

Great video except you didn't actually create the storage blob or VM from the image you uploaded. You selected the "fixed" from 4 days prior rather than the 2016b.

Hey Tim, Thanks indeed, it´s exactly what I´ve been looking for. Let me try it out in here and let you know later, but it looks just great Bro! In addition: suscribed and liked this on this1. God bless you

Is this process available for Linux VMs on VMWare?

[lyronixone]

Can not find the VHD on the Blob Storage acc why? its empty

[Jorginho]

Parabéns pelo vídeo... Muito boa explicação, Obrigado!!! //// Congratulations for the video... Very good explanation, Tanks..

[jean-pierrefolie]

Fantastic video! But as usual with Microsoft Azure, everything changed (is now Storage Explorer, no upper menus anymore), no one step is working.
Two days to move a very basic working VM from local HyperV to Azure without success, I give up! Way too complex, way too slow, huge dissapointment, waste of time.

[prashantr]

Thank you Tim, Its very helpful. Can you please explain how to Move existing VM from one account another azure account ?
