az image create --name MyVMIMage --source MyUbuntuVM

I had the same error while doing the exercise Exercise - Create an image of an Azure VM from the Azure CLI and provision a new VM, but I was able to find a workaround.
Instead of deployig the source vm cith the CLI I deployed the VM manually from the portal, and in the Basics tab I set the "Security type" to Standard.

Then when I got to the "Create a virtual machine image" step I got another error due to the

I had to add the "hyper-v-generation" parameter to the "az image create command" as follows:

az image create --name MyVMImage --source MyWindowsVM --hyper-v-generation V2

It seems the default if not specified is V1, but that did the trick.

I hope this helps!
