Azure Event ID K_13-FW0 - How to tell which VMs are impacted?

Question

We have the following notification from MS but we have no idea which virtual machines are included in this event. It does list my subscriptions that are impacted, but does that simply mean every VM on this subscription will be impacted? It seems like very poor communication from MS to not list the VM names, only the subscription.
