azure-create-vhd

Create and upload a formatted VHD to Microsoft Azure Storage.

Background

This tool exists as the Azure CLI currently does not support creating a blank VHD (azure-cli#655). Much of the logic was inspired by https://github.com/colemickens/azure-tools differing so as not to require Azure login.

Usage

docker build . -t azure-create-vhd
docker run -it azure-create-vhd STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY CONTAINER_NAME VHD_NAME [VHD_SIZE] [--fstype=type] [--verbose]

Arguments:
  STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME  Azure storage account name
  STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY   Azure storage account key
  CONTAINER_NAME        Name of blob container to store VHD
  VHD_NAME              Name of VHD to create. Must end in .vhd extension
