arch linux vm on azure

Question

can you please make available arch linux on your virtual machine page: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/linux/ ?

Answer 1

Hello Thurner,

Currently, Arch Linux is not directly available as a preconfigured image on the Azure Marketplace. However, you can still deploy Arch Linux on Azure by creating a custom VM image or using a community image.

• Custom VM Image: Create an Arch Linux VM locally or on another platform, configure it as desired, and then create a custom image to upload to Azure. You can follow this guide to create and use custom VM images on Azure.
• Community Image on Azure: Some Arch Linux images are maintained by the community and might be available in Azure's image repository. You can search for Arch Linux community images using Azure CLI:

      az vm image list --publisher arch --all
  

  Note: Be cautious with community images as they may not be officially supported by Microsoft.
