Unable to Build Image using Azure Custom VNET, Subnet & NSG

[Kannancsq]

We are using Azure with Packer, and custom our VNET, Subnet and resource group for generating image instead of temporary resources by Packer.

We Created VNET, Subnet and NSG. In NSG we have enabled Internet in Inbound.

For some reason , we are not sucessfull in generating image. We tried both Windows Image and Ubuntu in both scenarios getting SSH / WinRM time out.

Attached the Script & Log file.
win_template.txt

Error from Log File

If you run Packer in debug mode and try to connect independently of Packer while Packer is waiting for SSH/Winrm, are you able to connect to your instances?

@Kannancsq did you ever resolve this? Having something similar. If i create my image manually through the UI on the same Vnet and subnet i dont have any issues, but with packer is just says "waiting for ssh to become available".

I know azure reserves the first 4 IPs of a subnet, but it looks like its picked an IP out of the reserved range so not sure what the problem is

Figured it out, i was missing the private_virtual_network_with_public_ip flag

"private_virtual_network_with_public_ip": true,
"virtual_network_subnet_name" : "packerSubnet",
"virtual_network_name" : "myTFVnet",
"virtual_network_resource_group_name" : "myTFResourceGroup",

Thanks for sharing @akingscote! @Kannancsq did you ever figure this issue out? If not, does the above solution also fix things for you?
