Hi @Luis Charti,
I assume you're following the documentation on IBM's site: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/inline-files/IBM%20Security%20Guardium%20Cloud%20Deployment%20Guide%20-%20Azure_11.pdf.
The text is just outdated, but when you launch the Guardium template from the Azure marketplace and configure the VM settings, step 6.i, you request the Guardium version that you want to deploy, version 12 is available in that list. Once you have it deployed you'll apply the current v12.1 GPU and Sniffer patches like you would with any other build.

Subject: Strategies for migrating IBM Guardium to an Azure environment
What is the strategy to migrate or move my IBM Security Guardium v11.5 environment to an Azure environment, where I can maintain the data, queries, and audit process in Azure?
Validating the Azure information, the Guardium version is v11. In this case, installing v11 updates it to v12.
