Azure Data Bricks Cluster

Question

Hi,

While creating Azure Databricks cluster I am getting an error that the node Standrad_DS3_vs is not available in the Region. Please help. I am not able to see any Region while I run a Azure bash command to find the Region which has Standard_DS3_v2 VM.

There are other VM's in cluster, which has more that 6 cores which is of not use to me since my subscription has 10 cores.

Regards,

Hi Rishi Rithi This issue usually happens when the Standard_DS3_v2 VM size isn't available in the region you're trying to use. Azure VM availability can vary by region due to capacity and quota limits.

Here’s how you can check VM availability:

Run this command in Azure CLI to see where Standard_DS3_v2 is available:

az vm list-skus --size Standard_DS3_v2 --all --output table

More details here:

• List VM sizes per region – Azure CLI
• Azure VM sizes by region

If the VM size is available in some regions but not in yours, you may need to:

• Deploy your Databricks workspace in a supported region: Supported Azure regions for Databricks
• Or use a different VM size like Standard_DS2_v2 that fits within your 10-core quota.

Also, if your region supports the VM but you’ve hit your quota, you can request an increase: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/quotas/per-vm-quota-requests
