Why is MY AZURE taking so long to make a VM

Hello @Genç,huseyin H !

Why is it taking so long to create my VM?

In general, VM creation should be relatively quick. There may be some troubleshooting that needs to be done if it's taking 30 minutes to deploy a VM. There are a couple things that may affect the time it takes to create a VM:

• What image are you using? Some images take longer than others, especially in the case of custom images.
• Is there any advanced configuration on the VM? Extensions, VM Applications, and other configurations can add time to deployment--especially if they are dependent on a download.
• What VM size are you using? Make sure your VM size is sufficient for the image you are using.
• Are there any outages affecting your resource? Check the Azure status page, resource health, and Azure service health portal to make sure that there aren't any known issues that may be affecting your VM.

Are you able to share the configuration and location of the VM you are trying to deploy?

As a benchmark, I deployed Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition on a Standard D4s v3 (4 vcpus, 16 GiB memory) in West US 2 and it took roughly 2 minutes (see screenshots below).

Deployment started at 11:36pm:

Deployment finished at 11:38pm:

Hello @Genç,huseyin H

Thank you for posting in Q & A forum.

The performance diagnostics tool helps you troubleshoot performance issues that can affect a Windows or Linux virtual machine (VM). Supported troubleshooting scenarios include quick checks on known issues and best practices, and complex problems that involve slow VM performance or high usage of CPU, disk space, or memory.
