Description of problem:

Unable to use images in community galleries because of the SDK scoping to shared image galleries in your subscription or tenant.

How reproducible:

• All the time

Is this issue a regression from an earlier version:

• No

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Follow Launch Fedora 40 in Microsoft Azure - Fedora Magazine

2. Try to add an Image with the gallery URL

Actual behavior:
Foreman comes back with can't find UUID, this is because the Azure SDK 

Expected behavior:
The image to be created

Business Impact / Additional info:

The core issue here is that you're trying to parse and validate a gallery://CommunityGalleries/... image reference using SDK methods that expect Azure-owned or customer-owned shared image galleries, not community galleries. Community galleries are a bit of a special case.

• The SDK methods like list_galleries, get_gallery_image, and list_gallery_image_versions are designed for shared image galleries in your subscription or tenant.

• Community galleries are public and not discoverable via those SDK calls — they don’t show up in list_galleries, and you can’t query them by name.

Fix is:

Instead of trying to resolve the gallery/image/version manually, you can treat the full gallery://... string as the image id in your VM creation logic. That means skipping the lookup logic entirely.
