Azure VM Image Builder
Azure VM Image Builder is a fully managed service designed to streamline virtual machine image building. It allows DevOps teams to automate the creation of consistent VM images by supporting the tools they already use. This service simplifies the infrastructure provisioning process by handling the underlying build tasks, ensuring that images are generated reliably without manual intervention.
Choose this service when you need an automated, managed approach to creating VM images within Microsoft Azure. Be aware that there is no free tier available for this service. You will need to operate under a pay-as-you-go pricing model, meaning costs will accumulate based on actual usage rather than offering any initial free allowance or trial period for new users.
