@andreaturli Having a deeper look I've noticed we actually need the version properties if we want to be able to support images from the marketplace. We need to know the marketplace information from the image (done [here]( https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/blob/master/azurecompute-arm/src/main/java/org/jclouds/azurecompute/arm/compute/functions/VMImageToImage.java#L137-L145)).
Without that, deploying a node from an image from the marketplace will fail. VMs from the market place need to configure the *plan*, as done [here](https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/blob/master/azurecompute-arm/src/main/java/org/jclouds/azurecompute/arm/compute/AzureComputeServiceAdapter.java#L162-L165). Given that we already have an image cache and impact when listing images should be constrained to the first time they are looked up, I'd say it is more important to keep the ability to deploy marketplace images than improving the image list response time. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
