I need to create an Azure VM image that can be used by other people to create VMs in their own subscriptions.
I've looked at the Azure documentation for VMs and images. I can find info on how to create images and about how to create VMs from an image. But I cannot find any reliable information on whether there's any way to make my VM available to other people with their own subscriptions. The official Microsoft Azure documentation doesn't ever say whether or not this can be done. Some unofficial sources seem to say that I need to put the image in a Container and make the Container public, and people can copy it to their own subscription.
Can anyone tell me whether my goal in the first paragraph is possible, and if so how do I do it?

The link Michael provided is the official process of sharing Images within your company (same AD Tenant) across subscription and region.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/shared-image-galleries
One key thing to point out it's still in preview which means it limited and you will need to manually register the feature.
Hope this help.....

Create a managed snapshot of the OS disk from the generalized VM
Copy the managed snapshot to the target Azure subscription

According to the [shared image gallery docs] (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/shared-image-galleries) linked by Hannel:
Q. How can I list all the Shared Image Gallery resources across subscriptions?
A. In order to list all the Shared Image Gallery resources across
subscriptions that you have access to on the Azure portal, follow the
steps below:
Open the Azure portal. Go to All Resources. Select all the
subscriptions under which you’d like to list all the resources. Look
for resources of type Private gallery.
To see the image definitions and image versions, you should also
select Show hidden types.
To list all the Shared Image Gallery resources across subscriptions
that you have permissions to, use the following command in the Azure
CLI:
az account list -otsv --query "[].id" | xargs -n 1 az sig list --subscription
Q. How do I share my images across subscriptions?
A. You can share images across subscriptions using Role Based Access
Control (RBAC). Any user that has read permissions to an image
version, even across subscriptions, will be able to deploy a Virtual
Machine using the image version.
Q. Can I move my existing image to the shared image gallery?
A. Yes. There are 3 scenarios based on the types of images you may
have.
Scenario 1: If you have a managed image, then you can create an image
definition and image version from it.
Scenario 2: If you have an unmanaged generalized image, you can create
a managed image from it, and then create an image definition and image
version from it.
Scenario 3: If you have a VHD in your local file system, then you need
to upload the VHD, create a managed image, then you can create and
image definition and image version from it.
If the VHD is of a Windows VM, see Upload a generalized VHD. If the
VHD is for a Linux VM, see Upload a VHD
