Azure Germany images
Important
Since August 2018, we have not been accepting new customers or deploying any new features and services into the original Microsoft Cloud Germany locations.
Based on the evolution in customers’ needs, we recently launched two new datacenter regions in Germany, offering customer data residency, full connectivity to Microsoft’s global cloud network, as well as market competitive pricing.
Additionally, on Sept 30th, 2020, we announced that the Microsoft Cloud Germany would be closing on October 29th, 2021. More details are available here: https://www.microsoft.com/cloud-platform/germany-cloud-regions.
Take advantage of the breadth of functionality, enterprise-grade security, and comprehensive features available in our new German datacenter regions by migrating today.
Overview
When deploying new virtual servers in Azure Germany, customers can choose to deploy prebuilt images from Microsoft or upload their own VHDs. This flexibility means that you can deploy your own standardized images if needed.
Variations
Marketplace images from our partners are not yet supported in Azure Germany.
Following is a list of available images in the Azure Germany Marketplace. Note that each image might have different versions that aren't listed here. Some of the prebuilt images include pay-as-you-go licensing for specific software. Please review the Azure pricing page for more guidance and work with your Microsoft account team or reseller.
