This builder works by creating a new MD from either an existing source or from
|
||||
scratch and attaching it to the (already existing) Azure VM where Packer is
|
||||
running. Once attached, a [chroot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot) is set
|
||||
up and made available to the provisioners. After provisioning, the MD is
|
||||
detached, snapshotted and a MD image is created.

After provisioning, the MD is detached, snapshotted and a MD image is created.
|
||||
|
||||
Using this process, minutes can be shaved off the image creation process
|
||||
because Packer does not need to launch a VM instance.

There are some restrictions however:
|
||||
* The host system must be a similar system (generally the same OS version,
|
||||
kernel versions, etc.) as the image being built.
|
||||
* If the source is a user image or managed disk, it must be made available in
|
||||
the same region as the host system. ([name=Paul Meyer]: we could work around
|
||||
this restriction by doing a cross-region copy, but that takes away the main
|
||||
speed advantage.)
|
||||
* If the source is a managed disk, it must be made available in the same
|
||||
region as the host system.
|
||||
* The host system SKU has to allow for all of the specified disks to be
|
||||
attached.

### Authentication options
|
||||
The Azure builders [share this configuration](/docs/builders/azure.html).
|
||||
None of the authentication options are required, but depending on which
|
||||
ones are specified a different authentication method may be used. See the
|
||||
[shared Azure builders documentation](/docs/builders/azure.html) for more
|
