I am currently deploying Windows 365 and want to use a custom image. Firstly, I used the Azure Marketplace Windows 11 22h2 enterprise image. The performance was terrible.

Azure Portal

Firstly, you need to add the images to your Azure Marketplace. You can do so by using this link:

Connect-AzAccount

After that use this code to view the SKUs:

Get-AzVMImageSku -Location westeurope -PublisherName MicrosoftWindowsDesktop -Offer windows-ent-cpc | Select Skus

These are the SKUs available:
