Hi Lars-Dev,
Yeah, it didn't support it before as mentioned by akinbade abiola, but it became available on November 1st, 2024. I understand your concern. As per the information below document, it is available now, so I get why the issue has come up. I understand your point.
Windows Server major versions by servicing option
Windows Server 2025
It might still be partially available because some features are still being rolled out in the backend. According to the documentation, it should be fully available in a few days without any further issues. As you mentioned in the screenshot, What I understand there’s currently a temporary issue with deploying Windows Server 2025 Azure Edition, mainly in some regions. This is due to a configuration change that is still being rolled out. The issue is being resolved region by region, and most regions should be fully mitigated within the next 7-14 days based on your information it will be resolve as they mention date in notice. We’ll also check internally for any updates and keep you informed as soon as we have more details.
