Getting started on creating virtual machines from generalized image or specialized VHD in C#

Azure Compute sample for managing virtual machines -

• Create a virtual machine
• Deallocate the virtual machine
• Generalize the virtual machine
• Capture the virtual machine to create a generalized image
• Create a second virtual machine using the generalized image
• Delete the second virtual machine
• Create a new virtual machine by attaching OS disk of deleted VM to it.
