Azure Virtual Machine — Visual Studio Platform Image Not Found


A year or so back, while doing some courses on Azure, I ran in to a nagging "Platform Image Not Found" issue. The basic gist of the problem was that there was discrepancy between the Azure portal's VM set up screens and the actual config file that was getting generated behind the scenes.
