Azure marketplace images can be marked as Deprecated or ScheduledForDeprecation, but users receive no feedback at VM/VMSS creation time. This adds non-blocking warnings when a specified marketplace image is in either state.

Changes

Core

  • ImageAndOsType: Added ImageDeprecationStatus property to propagate deprecation info through image resolution
  • ImageEx.UpdateImageAndOsTypeAsync: Populates ImageDeprecationStatus from VirtualMachineImages.GetAsync response when resolving publisher:offer:sku:version format images

New-AzVM

  • SimpleParameterSet: Calls WarnIfImageDeprecated() in Parameters.CreateConfigAsync after image resolution via UpdateImageAndOsTypeAsync
  • DefaultParameterSet: Calls CheckAndWarnMarketplaceImageDeprecation() in DefaultExecuteCmdlet before creation; reuses existing retrieveSpecificImageFromNotId() for the API call

New-AzVmss

  • SimpleParameterSet (Manual): Calls WarnIfImageDeprecated() after UpdateImageAndOsTypeAsync in both SimpleParameterSetNormalMode and SimpleParameterSetOrchestrationModeFlexible
  • DefaultParameterSet (Generated): Adds CheckAndWarnMarketplaceImageDeprecation() called from BuildVirtualMachineScaleSetParameters; reuses existing retrieveSpecificImageFromNotId()

Warning messages

State Message
Deprecated This image is deprecated. VM created from this image might not be supported and VM creation might be blocked in the near future. Please select the latest image that is supported instead.
ScheduledForDeprecation This image is scheduled for deprecation. VM created from this image might not be supported in the near future. Please consider selecting the latest supported image instead.

All deprecation checks are wrapped in try/catch — failures silently no-op so VM/VMSS creation is never blocked by the check itself.

Example

# Using a deprecated WS2022 image
New-AzVM -Name "myvm" -Credential $cred -Image "MicrosoftWindowsServer:WindowsServer:2022-datacenter:20348.2762.250306"

# WARNING: This image is deprecated. VM created from this image might not be supported
# and VM creation might be blocked in the near future. Please select the latest image
# that is supported instead.
# (VM creation proceeds normally)

<issue_title>PS: Throw Warning when user tries to deploy VM/VMSS using a deprecating image</issue_title>
<issue_description>Background:
Azure marketplace allows publishers to publish VM images to accelerate VM deployments at scale, however many images are not deleted after deprecated. These deprecated images incurs additional capacity cost to Azure, and causes security/compliance risks for user who still use them.
Today, image can only be deleted after the usage is dropped to certain thresholds. To accelerate the deletion of the deprecated images, we need to keep user away from using deprecated images.

Timeline:
Due to .net 6 deprecation, Windows server team is deprecating all WS 2022 images from marketplace, with this large scale image deprecation of VM usage, we need to make sure the deprecation is executed in a timely manner, so1P and 3P services can move away from the deprecated WS 2022 images before they reaches EOL. The deprecation will be kicked off on June 9th 2026, this feature should be released before that deadline.

Describe the solution you'd like
When "vm/vmss create" is executed, if the image user selects is already marked for deprecation, we need to throw a warning, asking user not to use the deprecating images due to security and compliance risk.
"Warning, this image is marked for deprecation, VM created from this image might not be supported in the near future, VM creation might be blocked, please select the latest image that is supported instead".

Describe alternatives you've considered
Today, during the image deprecation, we send email to user to notify the deprecation, however this is not effective, user often ignore the notifications.

Additional context
For Windows server 2022 image deprecation, see https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/azurecompute/breaking-change-for-window-server-2022-image-users/4262423 Since this is a large scale image deprecation (impacting all WS 2022 marketplace image users), we are asking this feature to be implemented ASAP, ideally released by June 2026.
