Azure Compute Gallery image definitions and versions
Quake AI concept: Images
- Organized in galleries with image definitions and versioned images (Microsoft.Compute/galleries/images/versions), more structured than flat Glance images.
- Supports global replication to regions with replicas (up to 100), ZRS storage, unlike OpenStack's store-only model.
- Sharing via RBAC, community galleries, or direct share; requires gallery setup vs simple OpenStack image sharing.
- New features like Trusted Launch only in Gallery, legacy managed images deprecated.
