GPU based Virtual Machine on Free trial subscription

Hi,

I have been trying to test setting up Unreal Engine Pixel Streaming which requires a GPU enabled Virtual Machine.
However when I check all locations (started with US East) it tells me that the VM isn't available.

Is this a limitation of the free trial that we cannot use GPU enabled VMs by chance?

Regards,
Marc

    Please check this info:

    Deployment considerations
    For availability of N-series VMs, see Products available by region.

    N-series VMs can only be deployed in the Resource Manager deployment model.

    N-series VMs differ in the type of Azure Storage they support for their disks. NC and NV VMs only support VM disks that are backed by Standard Disk Storage (HDD). All other GPU VMs support VM disks that are backed by Standard Disk Storage and Premium Disk Storage (SSD).

    If you want to deploy more than a few N-series VMs, consider a pay-as-you-go subscription or other purchase options. If you're using an Azure free account, you can use only a limited number of Azure compute cores.

    You might need to increase the cores quota (per region) in your Azure subscription, and increase the separate quota for NC, NCv2, NCv3, ND, NDv2, NV, or NVv2 cores. To request a quota increase, open an online customer support request at no charge. Default limits may vary depending on your subscription category.
