Thanks Scott, I gave it a try but it is not working for me.

Yes, I do see that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is available, first of all:
























*$ az vm image list --all --publisher=Canonical --sku=18.04-LTS[  {
   "offer": "UbuntuServer",    "publisher": "Canonical",    "sku":
"18.04-LTS",    "urn": "Canonical:UbuntuServer:18.04-LTS:18.04.201804262",
   "version": "18.04.201804262"  },  {    "offer": "UbuntuServer",
   "publisher": "Canonical",    "sku": "18.04-LTS",    "urn":
"Canonical:UbuntuServer:18.04-LTS:18.04.201805170",    "version":
"18.04.201805170"  },  {    "offer": "UbuntuServer",    "publisher":
"Canonical",    "sku": "18.04-LTS",    "urn":
"Canonical:UbuntuServer:18.04-LTS:18.04.201805220",    "version":
"18.04.201805220"  }]*
However,

When I try to Create an Ubuntu VM using the above command, I get a "VMImage
was not found" error:

$ az vm create --name=myVM --resource-group=MyRG
--image=Canonical:UbuntuServer:18.04:latest
Querying the image of 'Canonical:UbuntuServer:18.04:latest' failed for an
error 'Artifact: VMImage was not found.'. Configuring plan settings will be
skipped,,,


What went wrong? Thx!
