Feature Proposal: Local Direct Upload of Azure Managed Disks

[maksymiliev]

SUMMARY

Azure has introduced an ability to upload VHD from host's local storage to a managed disk instead of pulling VHD from Azure Storage Blob URI. It would be great to introduce this ability to the module.

COMPONENT NAME

azure.azcollection.azure_rm_manageddisk

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Currently, Direct Upload of VHD is only available using AzCopy utility by generating a writable SAS of the managed disk and uploading the local file. It would be great to have this option in this module.
