How can I change the OS Disk size in Azure Virtual Machine?

Question

I use a virtual machine in Azure. However, the cost of storage is much more than the virtual machine. How can I reduce the storage limit while creating a virtual machine?

Answer 1

You could use Azure Smaller Disk images while creating a Virtual Machine.

You cannot resize the OS down, only up. So this is not possible.

If you want a Windows Server with a 40GB OS disk, Microsoft actually have a specific image for that in the Azure Marketplace. They all have [small disks] in the title
