Today we’re announcing the public preview of Azure Image Builder, a service that makes building Windows and Linux virtual machine (VM) images easy in Azure. It helps you build custom VM images with three main purposes in mind: fulfilling security needs, meeting corporate and regulatory compliance rules, and preconfiguring VMs with apps for faster deployment.
Simply describe a custom image in a configuration template and Azure Image Builder will create the custom image. Combined with the Azure Shared Image Gallery, you now have a complete image management system, with image patching, versioning, regional replication, and role-based access control.
Azure Image Builder supports both Linux (Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 16.04, RHEL 7.6, CentOS 7.6) and Windows (Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019) VM image creation.
Thanks to great community feedback, we have come a long way since private preview, including these great new features:
