az vm image list command does not have all the necessary features like nvme and more

[ebolton-cyber]

Describe the bug

az cli command needs improvement. It is currently showing limited properties like ARM64 and deprecation Status. It is not showing other properties like hibernate, nvme, hyperVgeneration and so on. As a result, customers cannot list images that support these properties making the customer experience difficult. It seems like these features are not a top level data in the listing query

See example of az vm image list command:

C:\Windows\System32>az vm image list --all --publisher Canonical --offer UbuntuServer --architecture arm64 --query "[?contains(imageDeprecationStatus.imageState,'Active')]"
[
{
"architecture": "Arm64",
"imageDeprecationStatus": {
"imageState": "Active",
"scheduledDeprecationTime": null
},
"offer": "UbuntuServer",
"publisher": "Canonical",

"urn": "Canonical:UbuntuServer:18_04-daily-lts-arm64:18.04.202211080",
"version": "18.04.202211080"

See example of az vm image show command with all the properties listed (these properties should be on the az vm image list command as well):

C:\Windows\System32>az vm image show --publisher Canonical --offer UbuntuServer --sku 18_04-lts-arm64 --version 18.04.202401161 --location westus2

Issue script & Debug output

No debug output

Expected behavior

The az vm image list command show show all top level properties like ARM64, NVME, hibernate, hyperVgeneration like below so customers can list and filter images based on these properties:

C:\Windows\System32>az vm image show --publisher Canonical --offer UbuntuServer --sku 18_04-lts-arm64 --version 18.04.202401161 --location westus2

Hi @ebolton-cyber,

2.65.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.68.0).

If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.
