Q. How can I view available images in Azure using ARM?

A. If you are using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) with IaaS v2, you can no longer run Get-AzureVMImage with no parameters.

Instead, you need to provide detail using a series of commands you can view all the available publishers, offers and SKUs which gives the information to pass to the Set-AzureVMSourceImage. Microsoft has a good article with more detail on this process.
