In this article, we are going to demonstrate how to create a VM clone both portal and PowerShell script way. Using this guide, you can choose the portal or script to clone an Azure virtual machine based on your requirement and what you are comfortable with. The original virtual machine has been cloned by creating the Snapshot of OS disk and Data Disk using the portal.
The snapshots have been used to create managed disks and virtual machines created by attaching the managed disks. In the first part of the demonstration, we have created a virtual machine using the portal, and in the second part demonstration, we have created the virtual machine using the script and running it on the cloud shell. This tutorial is created to show the audience how it relates portal and PowerShell script to create the VMs, and you can use any one of these two methods to create VM. The portal method will be quick and easy, but PowerShell script would be granular, and you can automate the VM cloning.
The following topics discussed in this article; The parameters given in the demonstration are just examples; you can replace the parameters which is relevant to your environment and create cloned VMs. We start the article with VM cloning using the portal, and, in the end, we are going to discuss how to use the script to accomplish the same.
