Creating a Proxmox or QEMU ChromeOS Flex VM
I recently wanted to experiment with ChromeOS Flex but didn’t want to install it on a physical machine. I also was doing this without a USB key, which complicated things slightly.

Azure decided to deprecate unmanaged disks, which really cramped my style for a silly reason: my unmanaged disks were just a bit too large to fit into the “round” managed disk size of 256GiB. So that 4GiB was going to double my storage costs. Not cool!
Setting up an Android emulator on a remote machine (to avoid destroying my laptop battery) in a state to capture traffic from an app was a bit annoying, and I wanted to store the shortened set instructions somewhere so I can reference it later.
A few years ago, for some masochistic reason, I decided I wanted to create an Arch Linux VM in Azure. I really don’t remember why, or how, I got started down that path - but switching now would be too high-cost to be worth it.
