Provisioning a new instance of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is like putting individual bits together. In this Coffee Break post, we will prepare some of these bits by building a VHD up front and then upload it to Azure. Then every new virtual machine (VM) can pick a copy of this disk. A VHD like this can contain anything such as the Microsoft Dynamics NAV product DVD, application objects, add-on databases, documents, and so on. And we can save a bit of time and bandwidth compared to uploading a new DVD, for example, every time we provision a new VM in the cloud.
