Image Creator

Overview

Image Creator is a tool for building Azure Linux operating system images from scratch.

What is Image Creator?

Image Creator generates a minimal “seed” image, which serves as a base for further customization. This seed image can then be customized using the Image Customizer tool to apply additional configurations and tailor the image to your specific needs. For advanced customizations, it is recommended to use Image Customizer on top of the seed image produced by Image Creator.

Note: Image Creator does not validate whether the generated image will be bootable. For best results, it is recommended to use Image Customizer on top of official Azure Linux images that are published using Image Creator.
