VirtualMachinesOperations

Constructor

VirtualMachinesOperations(*args, **kwargs)

Methods

begin_capture

Captures the VM by copying virtual hard disks of the VM and outputs a template that can be used to create similar VMs.
begin_convert_to_managed_disks

Converts virtual machine disks from blob-based to managed disks. Virtual machine must be stop-deallocated before invoking this operation. >>:code:<br>For Windows, please refer to Convert a virtual machine from unmanaged disks to managed disks. <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/convert-unmanaged-to-managed-disks>_<<.:code:
For Linux, please refer to Convert a virtual machine from unmanaged disks to managed disks..
begin_create_or_update

The operation to create or update a virtual machine. Please note some properties can be set only during virtual machine creation.
begin_deallocate
