# Azure Compute Gallery Image

An Azure Compute Gallery Image is a managed image definition within an Azure Compute Gallery, used to store and organize custom virtual machine images. It allows you to version, replicate, and share images across regions and subscriptions. This resource helps standardize VM deployments and improve scalability by providing a central catalog of reusable image versions.
