Introduction
With a downloadable virtual hard disk (VHD) for finance and operations apps, you can:
Download it to develop on, ensuring that no issues will occur with other pieces of architecture or your implementation.
Use it for extra testing.
Therefore, a VHD is a useful tool to know how to create and update. The VHD environment is hosted on your own computer, with a server that's hosted in Microsoft Azure, or any other on-premises architecture. You can download the VHD files from Lifecycle Services.
