Which PowerShell cmdlet must be executed to create a golden image using Azure VM Image Builder?

To create a golden image using Azure VM Image Builder, the proper cmdlet to execute is Start-AzImageBuilderTemplate. This cmdlet initiates the process of building an image according to a specified template defined in previous steps. By using this cmdlet, you can start the creation of a customized VM image that can be used for deployment across multiple virtual machines, ensuring consistency and efficiency in your environment.

This cmdlet takes the defined template and provisions the necessary resources, executes any customization scripts, and ultimately creates the image which can be saved into Azure and used subsequently for deploying new VMs. It effectively encapsulates the process of taking the configurations and customizations you've set in the template and applying them to build a reliable golden image.

The other options pertain to different functionalities:

• New-AzImageConfig is used to create the configuration for the image, which is a part of the overall process but does not directly initiate the image build.
