I Can't Create A VM in Azure

It says:
"

Resource 'VM-1' was disallowed by Azure: This policy maintains a set of best available regions where your subscription can deploy resources. The objective of this policy is to ensure that your subscription has full access to Azure services with optimal performance. Should you need additional or different regions, contact support..

"
PLEASE tell me how to fix it!!!

Hi,

Azure for Students restricts which regions you can deploy resources to. Typically you are restricted to five different regions, and these vary for each person.

Please navigate to Azure Policy -- Authoring -- Assignments using link below:

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade/~/Assignments

Look for an assignment similar to "Allowed locations", or something with location as part of the name. Click on this assignment, and then examine the Parameter value for list of regions.

These are the regions you are allowed to deploy resources to. If you want/need to deploy to a different region than Japan you will know which ones you can choose.

Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.

Thanks.

I have already solved this problem. Japan is a acceptable region for me.

Actually, another error happened.

Did you use the Free Virtual Machine offer in Marketplace? There is a bug in that whereby it is set to use Standard SKU public IP (correct) but Dynamic allocation (incorrect, must be Static). Is this Azure Free account or Student account?

I have instructions to work around issue while still taking advantage of free VM. Here they are:

To start the process you may use link below:

https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.VirtualMachine

For Windows (with Graphical Interface), when creating, set

Size: Standard_B1s

Image: [smalldisk] Windows Server 2022 Datacenter - x64 Gen2

OS disk size: 64 GiB (P6)

OS disk type: Premium SSD (locally-redundant storage)

Monitoring tab: Boot diagnostics: Disable

Don't enable any of the options if you want to avoid charges, for example, if you turn on Backup that has a charge associated with it.

After creating VM, please monitor costs (at least daily) by navigating to your subscription. If you used correct parameters for the VM you should not see any charges accrue related to it, except for the public IP address. Charges are delayed, so it will take typically several hours (after creation) before any would show up.

If you associate Public IP address with the VM, it is likely that you will be charged for this (about $3.65/month each). You can minimize the charges by dissociating it from the VM's network interface and deleting it when you are not using the VM.

When you want to use VM again you would create Public IP and associate it with VM's network interface.

Once VM is up and running you need to expand the volume so that it will use the full 64 GiB. In addition, it is critical to increase the paging file. For example, in advanced system settings set an initial paging file size on C: drive of 8192 MB and maximum 16384 MB. If you don't increase paging file size you will experience program crashes/freezes, RDP disconnects, etc..
