I'm building Windows Server Insiders and I tried to open the image using ntlite and it says it's not supported

What is Azure Edition for Windows Server?

This version is better optimized and supported on cloud servers, Hope to get support, thank you

If you're not actually deploying to a cloud, use the normal Windows Server. "Optimization" means some of the default settings are tuned for running on a VM, and not a physical server.

This chart proves there's almost no technical differences, outside of the software delivery & support models:

Windows Server Insiders mention Azure additional support for hot updates, No need to reboot to update patches

I deployed the ntlite optimized system to the cloud via dd, which is good for small memory machines

I'm trying to operate directly on the vhdx, maybe this will help

Azure Edition is not on NTLite's list of currently supported releases. I imagine nuhi could add it, but it's probably a matter of whether there is enough demand to justify the extra effort.
