Is it possible to add the image to the eastus2 region?

it is possible to replicate the image to other regions during build time by adding a field called replication_regions to the packer build script here: https://github.com/confidential-containers/cloud-api-adaptor/blob/372e4e72f7fef27b5adb5376e0361f01b901a8a7/azure/image/ubuntu/azure-ubuntu.pkr.hcl#L26C3-L33

Packer docs here: https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/integrations/hashicorp/azure/latest/components/builder/arm#shared-image-gallery-destination

If you are willing to try the pod vm image build for Azure here is the documentation: https://github.com/confidential-containers/cloud-api-adaptor/blob/main/azure/build-image.md

Thanks @surajssd. I created PR #1698 to add the replication region.

Is there more documentation about dependencies and build environment for Option 1 in the image build instructions? I have not been able to successfully build it yet due to multiple errors with missing dependencies and environment variables.

@cmaf thanks for the feedback, here is the PR that updates the documentation: #1699.
