List all images published by Canonical
Canonical publishes Ubuntu images under the Canonical publisher ID. One can find all our images using this az command:
az vm image list -p Canonical --all -o table
Via the Portal, make sure to look for Canonical rather than Ubuntu to find the official Ubuntu images. Also, always make sure the offer is published by Canonical. Non-Pro LTS offers are always FREE.
