Answer 1

Hi @MS techie

Yes, you can create a Microsoft Azure virtual machine (VM) by uploading a Virtual Hard Disk (.VHD) file.

Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/prepare-for-upload-vhd-image

I wrote an article (in Portuguese) showing how to do this:

For the Azure VM's CPU, RAM, and other configuration, you can choose any of the available Azure VM sizes, which varies greatly depending on your needs

@MS Techie

In addition to the answer by Jackson Martin, I am adding my response to your second question.

The configuration of the Azure VM depends on your requirements and the resources available in your subscription. You can choose the CPU, RAM, and other resources when you create the VM in the Azure portal. The available options will depend on the VM series you choose. For example, the Fsv2 series of VMs is optimized for compute-intensive workloads and offers up to 72 vCPUs and 144 GiB of RAM.

If this does answer your question, please accept it as the answer as a token of appreciation.
