Sorry for missing the questions earlier. Azure has two "machine types" gen1 which boots a non-uefi based virtual hardware platform and gen2 which is UEFI with newer virtual hardware, details here:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/generation-2-virtual-machines- in-azure-public-preview/?cdn=disable I boot daily Ubuntu-Server Daily images: here's a gen1 launch: az vm create --name=citest-singleboot-Standard-DS2-v2 \ --image=Canonical:UbuntuServer:19.10-DAILY:19.10.201911270 \ --admin-username=root --admin-username=ubuntu \ -g cloud-init-sru --os-disk-size-gb 37 \ --ssh-key-value /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa.pub \ --boot-diagnostics-storage cibootdiagstor \ --size Standard_DS2_v2 '--location=West US' Gen2 launch looks like: az vm create --name=cloudinit-azure-cloudtest \ --image=Canonical:UbuntuServer:19_10-daily-gen2:19.10.202002050 --admin-username=root --admin-username=ubuntu \ -g cloud-init-sru --os-disk-size-gb 37 \ --ssh-key-value /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa.pub \ --boot-diagnostics-storage cibootdiagstor \ --size Standard_DS2_v2 '--location=West US' To make a template image after booting one of these images; you run the following: # deallocate vm, generalize az vm deallocate --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP --name $VM_NAME az vm generalize --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP --name $VM_NAME az image create --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP \ $HV_GEN \ --name $TEMPLATE_IMAGE --source $VM_NAME --location "$LOCATION" And then you can launch an instance using your template image by specifying the the $TEMPLATE_IMAGE value (you pick the name) to the az create --image parameter above. HV_GEN=--hyper-v-generation=V2 # only if you're creating an gen2 image template. ** Changed in: linux-signed-azure (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1858495 Title: multiple long delays during kernel and userspace boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-azure/+bug/1858495/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
