What steps did you take and what happened:
The CAPZ project publishes reference images to a community gallery. But as mentioned at the top of this document, they are the default. You don't need to specify a custom image section in your template to use the reference images.

• When I tried, You don't need to specify a custom image section in your template I get the error message below

E1223 19:34:23.246198       1 controller.go:324] "Reconciler error" err="failed to init machine scope cache: failed to get default image: no VM image found for publisher \"cncf-upstream\" offer \"capi\" sku \"ubuntu-2204-gen1\" with Kubernetes version \"v1.31.4\"" controller="azuremachine" controllerGroup="infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io" controllerKind="AzureMachine" AzureMachine="default/capz-etcd-control-plane-76mlv" namespace="default" name="capz-etcd-control-plane-76mlv" reconcileID="1dacf88e-0b0c-48b9-86c1-2d6ed22adb62" 

• When I do try to use the Community Gallery. I get GalleryImageNotFound . In the error it clearly saying not found in northcentralus region..but I do see it as available (see screenshot) and yaml below

What did you expect to happen:
The CAPZ project publishes reference images to a community gallery. But as mentioned at the top of this document, they are the default. You don't need to specify a custom image section in your template to use the reference images.

Environment:

• cluster-api-provider-azure version
  
• Kubernetes version: (use kubectl version): v1.30.6
• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): 20.04.6 LTS (Focal Fossa)
• clusterctl: v1.9.3

wait.... isn't the gallery supposed to be ClusterAPI-f72ceb4f-5159-4c26-a0fe-2ea738f0d019 ? I copied and pasted from the doc and didn't double check just now.

@thiDucTran the CAPZ code that defaults to the community gallery hasn't been published in a release yet, so I think the docs you're looking at are also pre-release and may disagree with the code you're running.

But you should definitely be able to specify a computeGallery: section in your template and get to the community gallery reference images that way. AFAICT, you put the right things in there... I'm not sure why it thinks the image isn't replicated to northcentralus, because it is.

hi @mboersma , the gallery and image value needs to be switched in the docs.. the below works

      image:
        computeGallery:
          gallery: "ClusterAPI-f72ceb4f-5159-4c26-a0fe-2ea738f0d019"
          name: "capi-ubun2-2404"
          version: "1.31.4"
