title: How to duplicate/clone a Linux-VM in Microsoft Azure?
body: <p>I am trying to duplicate a Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) virtual machine in Microsoft Azure. The only idea I have is cloning the blob storage, creating a new VM and mount the blob storage but I cannot make it work.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a better way to get a running clone? Any advice?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
