We have a custom vhd image in our blob storage and we want to create a new vm using that vhd image through cli 2.0 in azure. Can anyone point me right direction to do so or any suggestions would be appreciated.

We can use this script to create Azure VM, like this:

az vm create -n MyVm -g jasonvm2 --use-unmanaged-disk --os-type linux --public-ip-address "" --attach-os-disk https://jasonvm2disks653.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/jasonvm220170915094051.vhd

We can use --attach-os-disk to specify the VHD's URL:

--attach-os-disk

Attach an existing OS disk to the VM. Can use the name or ID of a managed disk or the URI to an unmanaged disk VHD.
