I tried to do what "-o" do with Azure with these steps:

  1. Get the URL of your image on the community:

    http://vmdepoteastus.blob.core.windows.net/linux-community-store/community-23970-525c8c75-8901-4870-a937-7277414a6eaa-1.vhd

  2. Create a new affinity group if you have one skip this point:

    $ azure account affinity-group create mystoragegroup --location "West US"

  3. Create a new storage account if you have an account skip this point:

    $ azure storage account create mystorageazure --affinity-group mystoragegroup

  4. Get the Primary secret key of new storage account using this command:

    $ azure account storage keys list mystorageazure
output:
data:    Primary:  Your SECRET STORAGE KEY

  5. Create new account storage inside this storage account: 

    $ azure storage container create  --permission Blob  -a mystorageazure  -k  Your SECRET STORAGE KEY  mycontainerazure

  6. Upload your image to the your account storage container:

    $ azure vm disk upload --verbose http://vmdepoteastus.blob.core.windows.net/linux-community-store/community-23970-525c8c75-8901-4870-a937-7277414a6eaa-1.vhd http://mystorageazure.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainerazure/elastichpcvm.vhd  Your SECRET STORAGE KEY

  7. Create your local image:

    $ azure vm image create mystorageimage --location "West US" --blob-url http://mystorageazure.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainerazure/elastichpcvm.vhd --os linux

  8. Create your virtual machine using your local image:

    $ azure vm create mystoragemachine  mystorageimage ahmed P@ssw0rd --location "West US" --ssh 22

This seems to me like the cli issue. Can you please tell us

  • what version of the azure cli are you using. To get the version execute: azure -v
  • Can you provide us the version of publishsettings.xml file you are currently using? You can get the publishsettings xml file by executing: azure account download
