Create VHD from iso

[Milan]

I am trying to convert an iso image to vhd file,which I am going to use the vhd to create VM's in later stages in Azure. and I dont have any details to provide  in builders (Such as Client_Id, client_secret, resource_group_name, Subscription_id, tenant_id), without passing these details can I use Packer to create a vhd file?

Thanks

Packer doesn't do that.

Some isos are bootables as raw images but I am not sure all of them have that.

ie i know Oracle Linux can be dd into a pendrive and works

but some distris provide img files or raw files for that, then you can use any tool to convert the format to VHD. if you have virtualbox you can use VBoxManage to clone media from one format to other

I just gone through the documentation page and wondering is this possible

//The Azure builder can create either a VHD, or a managed image. If you are creating a VHD, you must start with a VHD. Likewise, if you want to create a managed image you must start with a managed image. When creating a VHD the following two options are required.//

In the above line it clearly mentions that it is possible to create the vhd file in blog/ARM. anyone clarify please
