 You can use the **Azure VM Image Builder (Public Preview)** service to build your custom image, no need to learn any tools, or setup build pipelines, simply providing an image configuration, and the Image Builder will create the Image. For more information, see [Getting Started with Azure VM Image Builder](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/linux/image-builder-overview).

 You'll need the following items before creating an image:
 
 * An Azure VM created in the Resource Manager deployment model that uses managed disks. If you haven't yet created a Linux VM, you can use the [portal](quick-create-portal.md), the [Azure CLI](quick-create-cli.md), or [Resource Manager templates](create-ssh-secured-vm-from-template.md). Configure the VM as needed. For example, [add data disks](add-disk.md), apply updates, and install applications.

-## Get a storage account
-
-You'll need a storage account in Azure to store the uploaded VM image. You can either use an existing storage account or create a new one. 
-
-If you'll be using the VHD to create a managed disk for a VM, the storage account location must be the same location where you'll be creating the VM.
-
-To show the available storage accounts, enter:
-
-```azurepowershell
-Get-AzStorageAccount | Format-Table
-```
-
 ## Upload the VHD to your storage account
 
-Use the [Add-AzVhd](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/az.compute/add-azvhd) cmdlet to upload the VHD to a container in your storage account. This example uploads the file *myVHD.vhd* from *C:\Users\Public\Documents\Virtual hard disks\\* to a storage account named *mystorageaccount* in the *myResourceGroup* resource group. The file will be placed into the container named *mycontainer* and the new file name will be *myUploadedVHD.vhd*.
-
-```powershell
-$rgName = "myResourceGroup"
-$urlOfUploadedImageVhd = "https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myUploadedVHD.vhd"
-Add-AzVhd -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Destination $urlOfUploadedImageVhd `
-    -LocalFilePath "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Virtual hard disks\myVHD.vhd"
-```
-
-
-If successful, you get a response that looks similar to this:
-
-```powershell
-MD5 hash is being calculated for the file C:\Users\Public\Documents\Virtual hard disks\myVHD.vhd.
-MD5 hash calculation is completed.
-Elapsed time for the operation: 00:03:35

--------------           --------------
-C:\Users\Public\Doc...  https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/myUploadedVHD.vhd
-```
-
-Depending on your network connection and the size of your VHD file, this command may take a while to complete.
-
-### Other options for uploading a VHD
- 
-You can also upload a VHD to your storage account using one of the following:
-
-- [AzCopy](https://aka.ms/downloadazcopy)
-- [Azure Storage Copy Blob API](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dd894037.aspx)
-- [Azure Storage Explorer Uploading Blobs](https://azurestorageexplorer.codeplex.com/)
-- [Storage Import/Export Service REST API Reference](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dn529096.aspx)
--	We recommend using the Import/Export Service if estimated uploading time is longer than seven days. You can use [DataTransferSpeedCalculator](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/storage-dotnet-import-export-job-management/blob/master/DataTransferSpeedCalculator.html) to estimate the time from data size and transfer unit. 
-	Import/Export can be used to copy to a standard storage account. You'll need to copy from standard storage to premium storage account by using a tool like AzCopy.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> If you are using AzCopy to upload your VHD to Azure, make sure you have set [**/BlobType:page**](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-blobs#upload-a-file) before running your upload script. 
-> If the destination is a blob and this option is not specified, by default AzCopy creates a block blob.
->

-
+You can now upload a VHD straight into a managed disk. For instructions, see [Upload a VHD to Azure using Azure PowerShell] (disks-upload-vhd-to-managed-disk-powershell.md).
 
 
 ## Create a managed image from the uploaded VHD
