是否可以将现有的 IaaS VM OS 映像从 2012 升级到 2016

Is it possible to upgrade an existing IaaS VM OS image from 2012 to 2016

我在 windows 2012 数据中心部署了多个 IaaS 虚拟机。是否可以在不重新创建 VM 的情况下升级到 2016?

遗憾的是,OSMicrosoft 不支持 Azure VM 的升级。

参考这个article,

Microsoft does not support an upgrade of the operating system of a Microsoft Azure virtual machine. Instead, you should create a new Azure virtual machine that is running the supported version of the operating system that is required and then migrate the workload.

另外,这是2012 R2升级到2016的类似问题feedback,大家可以投票或者post其他具体的理想。
