How to share an image publicly? #52334

Closed colemickens closed 4 years ago

colemickens commented 4 years ago

Hi.

I'd like to get images published for a Linux distro into Azure in as-close to an official capacity as possible. What does this require? Ideally we would get a platform image similar to other Linux distros that are offered by default to users.

What's the best way to pursue this? Is there public documentation on platform image onboarding? Azure Marketplace doesn't quite seem right since we aren't trying to offer a paid image/service/etc.

Alternatively, if this is not an option, how can a Shared Image Gallery image be shared publicly so that our users may replicate official images without requiring the manual creation and management of storage accounts?

Thanks!

@colemickens The following document explains how to publish a Virtual Machine image to Azure Marketplace: Virtual Machine Offer Publishing Guide. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Okay, thanks, I had misread that page before and took it to only apply to paid offers, but I now see that a freely licensed image would fall under BYOL.

Thanks Mike!
