Download Windows Azure VM videos

This question is related to the role of Azure VM. When I read on some blogs to host the role of a virtual machine, we need to create a virtual machine image (VHD) with Windows Server 2008 r2 installed on it.

1.) So, what will be the size of the VHD file (approximately)?

2.) I think it will be in the UK for sure. Therefore, it can be avoided by any other methods, so that we can create it on the fly, I mean in the cloud environment itself. To avoid downloading such a huge file,

Here's how it works today: you create your VHD in Hyper-V locally, and then upload the image, which is subsequently used to expand and scale the VM role. It is difficult to predict the actual size of the VHD, as it largely depends on what you install on your virtual machine. I'm sure you can easily create images above 10+ GB.

Once you upload your image, you do not need to re-download the entire image if, say, you fix your virtual machine. You can load a differential disk, which will be significantly smaller.

One thing to keep in mind: any changes you make to the VM at run time in Windows Azure will be unstable. For example, if a VM crashes and needs to be rebuilt, it will be restored from your originally loaded VHD.
