Kali missing from Azure Government marketplace

It used to be in the gov marketplace, but it is now gone. Any reasons? any eta on coming back?

2

Which government market place?

3

Azure Government.

The image was in there, but now gone. Only paid images from 3rd party exist.

At a guess it might be down to this:

Variations

Azure Government Marketplace differs from Azure Marketplace in the > following ways:

  • Only Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and Pay-as-you-Go (PayGo) images are available.

Note

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is available in Azure Government with Azure Marketplace billing. This offering is a special case exception to the above statement about license options in Azure Government.

As Kali has no billing element, and is released under the GNU license, it seems to not be compatible with their structure.

Can you not just download it from Kali.org?

Ubuntu is in there, along with other free downloads. I am creating my own image pipeline now to push it into my tenant, just an extra step now to get Kali into Gov. Thanks for the reply.

Ubuntu also has a subscription service, so maybe thats why it works with their platform. Kali has no paid elements whatsoever.
