Azure Compute Gallery is a service that helps you build structure and organization around your custom virtual machine (VM) images. It gives you the ability to:
To start using the Compute Gallery, you must first create a gallery resource.
After creating the gallery, you can begin adding VM images to it:
With this image definition, you can now create image versions that represent the actual VHDs of your VM images:
Once the image version is created, you can share it across accounts and regions. Use Role-Based Access Control to assign permissions to different users or groups to use the image.
The Azure Compute Gallery simplifies VM deployments and management of images on a global scale, offering a structured way to distribute VM images across an organization. With its version control, shared access, and replication features, the Azure Compute Gallery provides a robust tool for Azure Administrators, aiding in various scenarios from development/test environments to production workloads.
True
Azure Compute Gallery (formerly known as Shared Image Gallery) allows you to share images globally across different Azure regions.
False
Image versions within Azure Compute Gallery can be deleted. However, it’s essential to ensure that no resources are currently using the image version before deleting it.
C) Azure Compute Gallery
Azure Compute Gallery is specifically designed for managing and sharing custom VM images globally.
True
Before capturing an image of a VM to create an image version, the VM must be generalized using Sysprep (for Windows) or equivalent for Linux, to remove machine-specific information.
True
Shared images in Azure Compute Gallery can indeed be deployed to any subscription within the same Azure Active Directory tenant.
A) Offer, B) SKU, C) Resource Group
An image definition in Azure Compute Gallery requires an offer, SKU, and the resource group to be specified. A managed disk is not specifically required to create an image definition.
True
Azure Compute Gallery allows for versioning of images, supporting the staging and rolling out process for new configurations or updates.
B) Better version control
Azure Compute Gallery provides better version control and global sharing capabilities compared to locally managed images.
True
Azure Image Builder can be utilized to automate the creation and customization of images in the Azure Compute Gallery using templates.
C) Both A and B
Both PowerShell and Azure CLI offer commands and tools for creating and managing images in Azure Compute Gallery.
False
Azure Compute Gallery is intended for managing virtual machine images. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) uses its own mechanisms for managing node images.
B) 1,000
As of the knowledge cutoff date, you’re allowed to create up to 1,000 image definitions within a single image gallery in Azure.
The Azure Compute Gallery is a collection of pre-configured images and templates that can be used to create virtual machines in Azure.
The Azure Compute Gallery contains a wide range of images, including images for popular operating systems like Windows and Linux, as well as images for popular applications like Microsoft SQL Server.
You can access the Azure Compute Gallery through the Azure portal.
Yes, you can filter the images in the Azure Compute Gallery by operating system, application, and publisher.
Yes, you can create a custom image and use it to create a new virtual machine.
To create a custom image for the Azure Compute Gallery, you need to create a new virtual machine, configure it to your specifications, install any necessary software, shut it down, and then capture it as an image.
Using pre-configured images from the Azure Compute Gallery can save time and effort when creating new virtual machines, as the images are already set up with the necessary software and configurations.
No, you cannot edit the settings of an image in the Azure Compute Gallery. Instead, you should create a custom image with the desired settings.
To create a virtual machine using an image from the Azure Compute Gallery, you need to select the image when creating the virtual machine, and then configure the other settings for the virtual machine.
Yes, you can deploy an image from the Azure Compute Gallery to multiple virtual machines.
An image is a pre-configured virtual machine that can be used to create new virtual machines, while a template is a configuration file that can be used to automate the creation of virtual machines.
You can manage the images in the Azure Compute Gallery through the Azure portal.
Creating a custom image for the Azure Compute Gallery can help ensure consistency across your environment, and can make it easier to create new virtual machines with the same configuration.
Yes, you can delete an image from the Azure Compute Gallery.
If you need to use a software application that is not available in the Azure Compute Gallery, you can create a custom image with the necessary software installed.
