I really have no idea where this idea comes from. Of cause all of them
can be built outside of the respective infrastructures. The build
process simply does not care where it runs.
The upload process to create a usable image inside the cloud systems
usualy can work from everywhere. This is true for GCE (and properly
documented) and for Azure (and not documented).

The sole exception is AWS, where the images called AMI are built from
snapshots of existing disks, which can only be created by attaching
volumes to existing VM.
