Just migrated an Azure Linux Ubuntu 22.04 VM to XCP-ng and got it running successfully
Here are my rough steps:
Create a snapshot of the VM in Azure (good idea to shut down the VM when you have a VM that writes data all the time)
Convert the snapshot to a disk (Mine was a Gen 1 VHD) - Actually don't think this is required and I could have just downloaded the snapshot.
Download the VHD to Windows 11
Using "Hyper-V Manager" in Windows 11 edit the disk do be VHD dynamic
Using uuidgen rename the VHD to [uuid here].vhd e.g. 7b0e267d-f63e-47d8-a6c8-bf8aeac0cf08.vhd
# find the uuidgen utility in linux or wsl
uuidgen -r
7b0e267d-f63e-47d8-a6c8-bf8aeac0cf08
Using FileZilla I copied the 7b0e267d-f63e-47d8-a6c8-bf8aeac0cf08.vhd
to the local storage on the XCP-ng host (you can copy it to an NFS or local XCP-ng repo)
Rescan the repository and rename the disk to something descriptive
With Xen Orchestra create a VM with the correct settings (same vCPU's and RAM as the Azure VM) from a Ubuntu 22.04 template
Remove the & delete the default HDD from the XCP-ng VM
Scan for the VHD uploaded above and attach it to the VM
Boot and hope you see a login prompt in the XO console for the VM
Troubleshooting
My first attempt failed but I think this was because the Azure VM need a reboot to swap kernels before creating the snapshot
