# Upload the VHD
$urlOfUploadedImageVhd = (‘https://$storageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/’ + $containername + ‘/’ + $vhdName)
Add-AzVhd -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -Destination $urlOfUploadedImageVhd -LocalFilePath $localPath
This will try and convert the VHDX file to VHD
To be compatible with Azure, Add-AzVhd will automatically try to convert VHDX files to VHD, and resize VHD files to N * Mib using Hyper-V Platform, a Windows naitive virtualization product.

You will have the new Blob URL for the VHD, now you need to make a managed disk from it – https://aidanfinn.com/?p=20441
Once you have a managed disk you can then create a VM from that Managed Disk
Recently after creating a site with Virtual Machines sitting on a Vnet on the application Gateway , I could not add this subnet to be routable from the Virtual Network Gateway
The solution is to use Vnet peering to create a new subnet for the Virtual network gateways and peer this with the Application Gateway subnet
You then need to enable Remote Gateways per below , so VPN clients can route to the Application Gateway Subnet via a route :
Recently we had moved some onpremise Server 2016 machines to Azure using ASR. When trying to activate them using the Microsoft steps
