Description

The VM image settings include "imae_publisher", "image_sku", and "image_offer". This should be explicitly set to also use "image_version" of "latest". The option is inconsistently listed, and relying on the implicit "latest" option is confusing.

Use Case(s)

The Azure tools use the "latest" image by default, but it's implicit, not explicit. Setting it consistently and explicitly helps personnel ifnd the right place to more specifically designate that value.
