Azure CycleCloud ships with support for standard operating systems. You can specify the image with ImageName, which can be a CycleCloud image name, an image URN, or the resource ID of a custom image:
# CycleCloud image name
[[node defaults]]
ImageName = cycle.image.win2022
# Image URN (publisher:offer:sku:version)
[[node defaults]]
ImageName = MicrosoftWindowsServer:WindowsServer:2022-datacenter-g2:latest
# Image resource ID
[[node defaults]]
ImageName = /subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/MyResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Compute/images/MyCustomImage
Alternatively, use Image which supports image labels:
[[node defaults]]
Image = Windows 2022 DataCenter
When you don't specify an exact version, CycleCloud automatically uses the latest released version of the image for the region of the node.
Note
If you're using a custom (nonstandard) image that you created with Jetpack, set AwaitInstallation=true on the node. This setting specifies that the image supports sending status messages back to CycleCloud. With this setting, CycleCloud can provide more accurate representations of the node's state.
