Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

After packer is completed, download the image to local and upload it to an storage account. Then in the Admin portal, you can add the image into Azure Stack Hub by Add and remove a custom VM image to Azure Stack Hub.

Images generated with Packer are supported, as long as they meet the requirements described within this article.

You basically have to export it from azure and reimport it into ASH
