How can I access the NC-series VMs in Azure ML compute cluster?

Question

I am struggling to find the NC-series VMs when creating a compute cluster for Azure Machine Learning Service. Only a few VM families are present. Can anyone provide guidance on how I can access NC-series VMs in Azure ML?

@Ananth Ayyaswamy Thanks for reaching out to us, NC-series has been retired as this document - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/migration-guides/nc-series-retirement

The current available compute target is here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/concept-compute-target?view=azureml-api-2#supported-vm-series-and-sizes

Please be aware that some VM series, such as GPUs and other special SKUs, might not initially appear in your list of available VMs. But you can still use them, once you request a quota change. For more information about requesting quotas, see Request quota and limit increases. See the following table to learn more about supported series.

I hope this helps.
