Hi Rens,
You have described the process noted in our How to add Azure images FAQ
article
<https://scalr-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=74023110>.
Due to Azure ARM limitations, the Azure API leveraged by Scalr does not
support custom images. In order to obtain access to our pre-configured
Azure Images and Roles for use with Scalr, you will want to complete the Sync
Shared Roles
<https://scalr-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/display/docs/Sync+Shared+Roles>
process. This will provide you with a set of Azure images from the
marketplace as well as the appropriate Roles with the Scalarizr agent
configured which will allow you to leverage the additional functionality
that our agent provides. By the way, welcome to the Scalr Open Source
community! We're excited to have you join us. Please feel free to post any
issues or questions you have moving forward and we will do our best to lend
a hand.
Cheers,
Wm. Marc O'Brien
