Cannot complete: Exercise - Set up communication between IoT Hub and IoT Edge

Question

I follow "Exercise - Set up communication between IoT Hub and IoT Edge", https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/deploy-prebuilt-module-edge-device/4-exercise-setup-communication

After executing command below, with replaced values:

az deployment group create --resource-group IoTEdgeResources --template-uri "https://aka.ms/iotedge-vm-deploy" --parameters dnsLabelPrefix='<REPLACE_WITH_VM_NAME>' --parameters adminUsername='azureuser' --parameters deviceConnectionString=$(az iot hub device-identity connection-string show --device-id myEdgeDevice --hub-name
<REPLACE_WITH_HUB_NAME> -o tsv) --parameters authenticationType='password' --parameters adminPasswordOrKey="<REPLACE_WITH_PASSWORD>"

I see following error:

{"code": "InvalidTemplateDeployment", "message": "The template deployment 'iotedge-vm-deploy' is not valid according to the validation procedure. The tracking id is 'e0fdc05b-2ac9-451b-af26-fe70ebf23cb0'. See inner errors for details."}
Inner Errors: 
{"code": "SkuNotAvailable", "message": "The requested VM size for resource 'Following SKUs have failed for Capacity Restrictions: Standard_DS1_v2' is currently not available in location 'eastus2'. Please try another size or deploy to a different location or different zone. See https://aka.ms/azureskunotavailable for details."}

suggestions provided by ai learn assistant, like changing the target VM does not work.

Hi Karol Adamiak

The above error suggests that Default deployment SKU Standard_DS1_v2' is currently not available in location 'eastus2'.

Please follow the below steps to find available SKU and use them

1. Please use below command to find available SKU in "eastus2" region.

      az vm list-sizes --location eastus2
   

2. Add one more parameter with "--parameters vmSize='Standard_D4_v3' #any other SKU supported and mentioned here.

az deployment group create --resource-group IoTEdgeResources --template-uri "https://aka.ms/iotedge-vm-deploy" --parameters dnsLabelPrefix='<REPLACE_WITH_VM_NAME>' --parameters adminUsername='azureuser' --parameters deviceConnectionString=$(az iot hub device-identity connection-string show --device-id myEdgeDevice --hub-name
<REPLACE_WITH_HUB_NAME> -o tsv) --parameters authenticationType='password' --parameters adminPasswordOrKey="<REPLACE_WITH_PASSWORD>" --parameters vmSize='Standard_D4_v3'

Hope it helps fix the issue.
