Azure VMs can be resized and involves short downtime depending on the scenario. But it will not impact your installed application. Your VHD file will be stored there at blog storage. For more information, you can refer to this.

From https://petri.com/resize-azure-virtual-machine

By deallocating the virtual machine (Azure shutdown, not a guest OS shutdown), all of the possible options in the region are made available, and the resize process will migrate the virtual machine to a new compute cluster.

also, refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/resize-vm

Deallocating the VM releases any dynamic IP addresses assigned to the VM. The OS and data disks are not affected.
