Azure Marketplace: Is it possible to use images in Managed Application offer?

Question

I created Azure Managed Application. I used managed images in mainTemplate.json to create new VMs, like in example:

{
    \"type\": \"Microsoft.Comp         


        

Answer 1

This is not allowed in the Marketplace (will fail certification). Any vm images used in a marketplace offer (managed app or solution template) must be published to the Azure Marketplace as a VM offer. It can be hidden (so users don't deploy the image directly) but still needs to be in the marketplace.
