Custom Images

Overview

Custom images let you import and manage operating system images for use in Windows 365. You can add images from different Azure sources: managed images or from an Azure Compute Gallery image.

Choosing an Image Source

• Managed image: Use this option to import a single managed image from your Azure subscription.

• Azure Compute Gallery image: Use this option to import an image from an Azure Compute Gallery, where images are organized by definition and version.

1. In Windows 365, select Custom Images.

2. (Optional) In the search box, enter a keyword to filter images. The table describes the information shown for each image:
