Virtual Disk Lib

A few months ago I was working on some VHD and VHDX file format conversions (because Azure Disks can only be created from ‘Fixed VHD’ format disks). There were/are a few challenges to this, so I thought I’d write a library for it, and show how to work through the problems.

I’ll document the process and thinking here. It’ll be written in C# (at least initially, I may add Python, Golang, Rust too as I’d like to get a bit more familiar with those languages)

I’ll take an iterative approach. Major steps will be:

• Document requirements / expectations
• Set up environment, CI/CD
• Parsing file/header information
• Reading data
  • Fixed VHD
  • Dynamic VHD
  • Differencing VHD
  • Dynamic VHDX
  • Differencing VHDX

Links to the updates / articles will appear below.

• Setting up the workflow to generate the README.md
