Shared Gallery Image to which to publish the managed image version to does not exist in the resource group

[BenMitchell1979]

Describe the problem and include the following information: When attempting to deploy Azure Managed Image to Shared Image Gallery using new "shared_image_gallery_destination" and I'm getting the following error

Build 'azure-arm' errored: the Shared Gallery Image to which to publish the managed image version to does not exist in the resource group MBPRD-IMAGES

• Packer version from packer version = 1.4.2
• Host platform= Windows 10 (1803 Build 17134.765)
• Debug log output and template used: https://gist.github.com/BenMitchell1979/f4fc6b9fdfc338433c6276323fe9db92

Looks like you have to pre-stage the Image Definition in the Shared Image Gallery that you are calling via the template. This probably needs to be documented here - https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/azure.html

I'm coming up against this and have no idea how to solve it. Any quick documentation that can be captured in this issue to help others in the meantime? EDIT: for me, the solution was to make sure the Image Definition had the same name as the Managed Image Name...that solved it, after having had created the Image Definition and still had issues.

I'm also having this issue - do we really need to pre-stage the image definition (even though there is no image as yet) in Azure Shared Image gallery?

@slime-uk Yes, you do. At the moment there seem to be two (or three, depending on how you look at it) options to do so:

• Use Terraform's azurerm_shared_image resource to create these definitions when you create the shared image gallery, provided you use Terraform for those things of course.
• Use az cli or PowerShell to create a shared image definition, e.g. for a customised Ubuntu 18.04-LTS image: az sig image-definition create --resource-group <my-rg> --gallery-name <my_shared_image_gallery> --gallery-image-definition <my-ubuntu18> --publisher <company> --offer UbuntuServer --sku 18.04-LTS --os-type linux
