Desktop Image advanced choices from Azure Gallery

The default dropdown for Desktop Images is great, but sometimes you want to choose a specific image as the latest has issues. I would like an option for an advanced dropdown so you can explore older images in the case that the latest has issues. This would include the full URN of the image. It would also be great to see the URN for the detault images as well if desired.

Currently, we offer the backup option to keep restore points for the images. From there, you'll be able to rollback to an earlier version in case the latest version has issues. Have you configured image backups and does it cover your needs?

In the effort to treat all session hosts as cattle and not pets, it would be ideal not to backup the session host images at all and just rely on the Marketplace images. This would decrease management overhead of an environment as well as decrease storage costs.

While your idea would solve the problem most of the time, it would not help if you needed to spin up a new host pool when the latest Marketplace image was already problematic.

Let me put this on our product backlog, I understand your use case and I see the value for others as well. We might be able to provide versioning in addition to the current backup/restore solution. If you have any thoughts on how you would like this to work, please share them with me.
