Azure Shared Image Gallery—New features are now available in preview
Published date: June 02, 2020
New features are now available in Azure Shared Image Gallery in preview. Because these features are in preview, they have some limitations—please review the documentation before getting started.
Capture VM
Use this feature to create a Shared Image Gallery image version directly from a VM. Previously, creating Shared Image Gallery image versions was supported from only managed images or snapshots. This feature is currently in preview and is unavailable on the Azure portal.
Get started—Documentation, CLI, PowerShell, API, ARM template, and download the SDK.
Copy image versions across shared image galleries
Move Shared Image Gallery image versions from one gallery by selecting an image version in another shared image gallery as the source. This feature is currently in preview and is unavailable on the Azure portal.
Get started—Documentation, CLI, PowerShell, API, ARM template, and download the SDK.
Server-side encryption using customer-managed keys in Shared Image Gallery
Until now, Shared Image Gallery image versions were encrypted at rest with platform-managed keys. Use this feature to choose to encrypt Shared Image Gallery image versions with customer-managed keys. You also have the option to encrypt Shared Image Gallery image versions at a disk level.
This feature is currently in preview and encrypted image versions can neither be shared with other subscriptions/tenants nor globally replicated.
Get started—Documentation, CLI, PowerShell, Portal, API, ARM template, and download the SDK.
