Builds using spot pricing fail when used with a Shared Image Gallery base

[ianpittwood]

Overview of the Issue

Recently, I started attempting to upgrade from VHD image artifacts to using Shared Image Galleries to store our images. We do our image builds in a sequence of Base -> Product Base -> Product where Base uses the latest LTS for Ubuntu from the Marketplace. Building the Base image works fine after switching out the VHD-related variables for Shared Image Gallery blocks, but past that we're experiencing failures that seem related to spot pricing. When building off the Base image we first create for Product Base from a Shared Gallery Image with spot pricing configured, we get the following error during Packer's deployment of temporary build resources:

==> byol.azure-arm.azure-byol: ERROR: -> DeploymentFailed : At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-deployment-operations for usage details.

If spot pricing configurations are removed, everything works fine. This seems to be specific to when you combine a Shared Gallery Image source base image with a spot pricing configuration.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a base image stored in a Shared Image Gallery.
2. Configure a source that uses the Shared Image Gallery base image as the source image to build off of.
3. Add a spot pricing configuration block to the source.
4. Try to initiate a new build using that source. Deploying the build resources will fail.

Hey @ianpittwood can you verify if this issue is still occurring for you, I believe something in the upgrade to v2 fixed this improper template generation, maybe just a deployment API version bump fixed this.

When I try using v1.4.5 of the plugin I am able to reproduce this error, but using the newest version of the plugin (v2.1.6 as of writing) I am able to successfully build a SIG based VM with spot pricing, and capture it in an image version with a template similar to your provided one.

There are a few breaking changes in v2 https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-azure/releases/tag/v2.0.0 called out in the release notes but I don't think any of those apply to your template, as you aren't using VHD builds, or interactive authentication

I am closing this issue as we haven't heard back in a few months and it doesn't appear to happen on newer versions, please re-open it if you are experiencing it still
