Description of Feature or Work Requested

CELA team has an ask that when user creates a vm from community gallery, we should pop up an agreement acceptance line for user to accept/decline.

Design below:

1. If user uses 'az vm --image /CommunityGalleries/xxx/Images/xxx/Versions/xxx" or use 'az vmss --image /CommunityGalleries/xxx/Images/xxx/Versions/xxx"

follow up with question
"To create a VM from a community gallery image, you must accept the license agreement and privacy statement : https:/xxx. If you want to accept the legal terms by command, please use option '--accept-terms' for 'az vm', please now choose by Y/N:"

"To create a VMSS from a community gallery image, you must accept the license agreement and privacy statement : https:/xxx. If you want to accept the legal terms by command, please use option '--accept-terms' for 'az vmss', please now choose by Y/N:"

If user accepts, proceed to VM/VMSS creation. If user declines, do not create VM/VMSS.

2. If user uses 'az vm --image /CommunityGalleries/xxx/Images/xxx/Versions/xxx --accept-terms' or 'az vmss --image /CommunityGalleries/xxx/Images/xxx/Versions/xxx --accept-terms'
   We think user has accepted the legal terms and we proceed to VM creation directly.

I already talked to Xing Zhou in CLI team about this.

3. One more change is to update description of eula when creating a community gallery, currently the description for 'eula' is 'Community gallery publisher eula', we intend to change it to 'community gallery license agreement and privacy statement'

Hi kangsun-ctrl,
will there be a way to opt-out of this (by not supplying a privacy statement or license agreement)? I was looking forward to the community gallery feature, but this will break a lot of workflows in the same way that third-party images in marketplace do.

[kangsun-ctrl]

place do.

Hi Jeremi Piotrowski (@jepio), community gallery is different from marketplace images. It is a gallery image and we only want this eula enforcement happens in gallery scope. This is a feature we are trying to do public preview, and also this is in cli extension. I actually do not get the point "but this will break a lot of workflows in the same way that third-party images in marketplace do.", can you explain why it could happen?

Jeremi Piotrowski (@jepio) , adding to the above, the eula check should only happen if the image is in community gallery image format. Anything else won't be affected.
