How to programmatically determine whether a VM size is previous-gen

Question

This documentation describes VM series are that previous-gen: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/sizes/previous-gen-sizes-list

For every VM in our tenant, we are looking to programmatically determine the VM "status" (e.g. capacity limited, next-gen available, or retired). There doesn't appear to be an API that will return this information. Please advise on the best method to obtain this information. Thank you in advance.

Hello @Lyly Vuu

You can use the Azure Advisor "Service Retirement" workbook for filtering affected resources by subscription, resource group, or location.

Go to Azure Advisor, select workbooks and Service Retirement:

After that, at the workbook's top, you will see a dropdown menu labeled Subscription.
Click on it and select the desired subscription to view only the resources under that subscription.
