Actually, I also managed to add a Public Image form Ubuntu: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
I found a blog post on how to use ubuntu cloud images with KVM and turns out that .img files are qcow2 I can also confirm that cloud init works, and I see virtio_blk and virtio_net kernel modules loaded. I also tried hot-resizing the data disk on this VM, and worked just fine. It all seems good to me. But Again, I am not sure whether additional customizations are required or not. If all these official images are in a good state for ACS to consume, perhaps we should list the sources and importing procedure in ACS documentation.
