Clone an Image with Microsoft Azure

When significant changes are made to the parent image, you clone an image version to create a new image from an existing published image version. Before performing any of the following steps, also review key information at Managing Images for Microsoft Azure Provider Deployments.

With these steps, you create a new image version with an incremented version from major or minor available or partially available versions.

Prerequisites

• The image is imported and published.
• The selected image is available or partially available.
• At least one virtual network and tenant (desktop) subnet is selected for the provider.

Procedure

1. From the Horizon Universal Console, select Images in the left menu.

2. On the Images page, click an image link to copy the image version.

3. Select an image and then click Copy > Copy as Image.

4. In the General Information section, add an Image Name.

   • If the base image’s VM Model supports Encryption at Host, the toggle will be activated automatically. This feature ensures that temporary disks and ephemeral OS disks are encrypted using platform-managed keys.

5. Click Next to proceed.

6. In Network, select the network to use for the new VM of the copied image, and click Save.
