Can you share how you built the VHD?

Are you happily still running Arch on Azure?

Ping? Maybe it was a local VM that you turned into a VHD and uploaded?

@colemickens I was experimenting with this last week, it took a good amount of trial and error to get a custom archlinux vhd running on Azure :) Have documented the steps in a blog post. Hope it may help.

Could you kindly share the image file? I followed the post (twice) but could not get it up and running...

For all of you that still want to use Arch on Azure use the vps2arch solution.
It works like a charm on Azure, see in particular issue #10.
