### Deprecation Warning
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may see a scary-looking deprecation warning when you run the Azure builder:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
==> azure-arm: Warning: You are using Azure Packer Builder to create VHDs which
|
|
|
|
|
is being deprecated, consider using Managed Images. Learn more
|
|
|
|
|
http://aka.ms/packermanagedimage
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't panic. Your build won't stop working next week.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Long-term, Azure wants everyone to move to using managed images and managed
|
|
|
|
|
disks because they hide the complexity with respect to storage account
|
|
|
|
|
performance. Managed disks can be exported to a VHD. If this is deprecated,
|
|
|
|
|
it will be done in a transparent process by the Microsoft team who help
|
|
|
|
|
maintain Packer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the future, Packer may remove VHD support but add a post-processor that can
|
|
|
|
|
automate the export to a storage account.
