Hi Sultan Amanbai ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for posting your query here.

We understand from your query that you are experiencing an issue while trying to create a VM with the NVIDIA driver's extension.

Please share additional details to investigate this case: Region, Image type, VM size and series that support GPU, and quota.

Ensure that you meet the requirements for deploying NVIDIA GPU Driver Extension for Linux.

Thank you.
