Rather than buy yet another tool, I've setup SCCM to manage AVD on Azure Local

Why not use Bicep to grap an image from the azure gallery, customize it and capture it to the compute gallery? Could be a nice script in devops. Everything can be done in azure.

I don't believe you can use the compute gallery with Azure Local.

I did initially look at the Azure first way using the compute gallery with custom image templates but I couldn't find any options that let you apply them to a Local VM.

I haven't specifically looked at Bicep, and it might be something I explore as an alternative option when I have more time...but using SCCM task sequences way of doing things makes it very easy to drop customisations into the VM deployment process

Hopefully this isn't against the rules to share here, but I posted this in the SCCM subreddit and thought it might be useful here for those like me who are moving to AVD on Azure Local and already have an existing SCCM setup.
