Azure managed disks and the marketplace

[Nicholas Bayle]

I realize this is not a packer issue, per se, but I'm hoping someone has been through this process with their image.

As per the "unmanaged disks are being deprecated" warning (from packer?), I switched to using managed disks for Azure. Has anyone, in the history of the universe, been able to publish to the Azure marketplace with a managed image?

Publishing requires a SAS URL. Guess what neither the portal nor azure-cli will create from a managed disk? OK, so I'll simply copy the managed disk into a storage container and generate a SAS that way. Nope, you need a SAS URL for that too.

Anyone done this?
