The 3 overview steps to creating (or restoring) an Azure virtual machine (VM) from a stored snapshot of another VMs Operating System (OS) virtual hard disks (vhd).
- Create a Snapshot (already created for this exercise)

This post shows how to create a VM in a new resource group, from disk snapshots. We will be attaching the new managed OS Disk to the VM with PowerShell while the VM is created. The data disk will be attached after the VM is created. Note in the diagram below, that after creating the managed disks, we will also need to add 4 more Azure resources for the new VM to be accessible:
- VNet
- Subnet
- PIP
- Network Interface
