more information on managed disks, see [Azure Managed Disks Overview](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/managed-disks-overview).
The difference between this builder and the `azure-arm` builder is that this
builder is able to build a managed disk image without launching an Azure VM
instance. This can dramatically speed up image builds. It also allows for more
deterministic image content and enables some capabilities that are not possible
with the `azure-arm` builder.
