asked on How to utilize an uploaded VHD as a template in Azure
Is there a good way to take a custom sysprepped VHD that I have already uploaded to a storage account....
... and use Powershell or an ARM template to spin up multiple new VMs at once - leaving the original VHD intact, so I can continue to use it for the same purpose?
Thank you

Andy,
Thank you.
It seems that these options do not exist (that I can find) on the Azure portal and when I use the classic portal (per your article), none of my storage accounts appear. That is where my .vhd lives already.
Any ideas?
Thank you,

understood. Your information is always invaluable nonetheless.
The article you provided uses the Classic Model. I used the newer Resource Manager methodology: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-windows-upload-image/
Any details around how to use the VHD as a template and create VMs with Powershell or ARM templates or CLI - leaving the original VHD intact would be helpful.
Thank you.
