Azure Image Gallery Limits – Create and Manage Session Host Images
Azure Image Gallery Limits
There are limits, per subscription, for deploying resources using Azure Compute Gallery:
•\ 100 galleries per subscription per region
•\ 1,000 image definitions per subscription, per region
•\ 10,000 image versions per subscription per region
•\ 10 image version replicas per subscription per region
Any disk attached to the image must be less than or equal to 1 TB in size.
Azure Image Gallery High Availability
Azure zone redundant storage (ZRS) provides resilience against an availability zone failure in the region. With the general availability of Azure Compute Gallery, you can choose to store your images in ZRS accounts in regions with availability zones. See Figure 7-8.

You can also choose the account type for each of the target regions. The default storage account type is Standard_LRS, but you can choose Standard_ZRS for regions with availability zones. See Figure 7-9.
