Encryption at host SKU and Location details

Question

I see there is a dependency for location and SKU size if we want to enable Encryption at host.

Unable to understand exact SKU size and location it is supported, I did used powershell script mentioned in the below article.

virtualMachines Standard_B12ms CentralUSEUAP 1 MaxResourceVolumeMB 98304
virtualMachines Standard_B16ms CentralUSEUAP 1 MaxResourceVolumeMB 131072
virtualMachines Standard_B1ls CentralUSEUAP 1 MaxResourceVolumeMB 4096
virtualMachines Standard_B1ms CentralUSEUAP 1 MaxResourceVolumeMB 4096
virtualMachines Standard_B1s CentralUSEUAP 1 MaxResourceVolumeMB 4096
virtualMachines Standard_B20ms CentralUSEUAP 1 MaxResourceVolumeMB 163840
virtualMachines Standard_B2ms CentralUSEUAP 1 MaxResourceVolumeMB 16384
virtualMachines Standard_B2s CentralUSEUAP 1 MaxResourceVolumeMB 8192

could some one help me with SKU and location details which it supports.

@prashanth miryala Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.
You are using the right command, try it with a few updates shared below.

You can use the PowerShell command (shared below) to find supported VM sizes for a particular region, to enable end-to-end encryption using encryption at host.

This example shows you the supported VM sizes for the region eastus. Similarly, you can find the find the supported SKU sizes for any region you are interested in.

$vmSizes=Get-AzComputeResourceSku | where{$_.ResourceType -eq 'virtualMachines' -and $_.Locations.Contains('eastus')} 

foreach($vmSize in $vmSizes)
{
    foreach($capability in $vmSize.capabilities)
    {
        if($capability.Name -eq 'EncryptionAtHostSupported' -and $capability.Value -eq 'true')
        {
            $vmSize

        }

    }
}

I executed above command in Azure Cloud Shell on Azure Portal and it resulted into output as below:

Please note:

• Use lower case for region (example - eastus) in the command above.
• While copying the command from above, you might see an error while pasting on Cloud Shell as it might add spaces, please paste this PowerShell command instead with the region updated, in notepad or another editor.
• I will ensure that the documentation is updated with better region example.
