List all images published by Canonical
--------------------------------------
Canonical publishes Ubuntu images under the ``Canonical`` publisher ID. You can find all our images using this ``az`` command::
az vm image list -p Canonical --all -o table
Via the portal, make sure to look for ``Canonical`` rather than ``Ubuntu`` to find the official Ubuntu images. Also, always make sure the offer is published by Canonical. **Non-Pro LTS offers are always FREE**.
