Hi @Vinitha Karthik

SkuNotAvailable: Cloud provider resource stockout

The error you're encountering indicates that the specific Virtual Machine (VM) size you're requesting (e.g., Standard_DS3_v2) is currently unavailable in the selected Azure region due to capacity constraints. This issue is common, especially in regions with high demand or when using Azure Free Trial or Student subscriptions, which have limited quotas.

Please check below steps and confirm us:

Try Different VM sizes:

Some VM sizes may have better availability. You can use the Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI) to list available VM sizes in a specific region:

az vm list-skus --location <your-region> --output table

Replace <your-region> with your desired Azure region (e.g., eastus). This command will display available VM sizes in that region.

Deploy to different region or zone

If the desired VM size is unavailable in your current region, consider deploying your Databricks workspace to a different region where the VM size is available.

 Upgrade your Azure Subscription

Azure Free Trial and Student subscriptions have limitations, such as a cap of 4 cores, which restricts the ability to create multi-node clusters. Upgrading to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription removes these limitations and allows for quota increases.

If you're on a Pay-As-You-Go subscription and still facing issues, you can request a quota increase for the specific VM size in the desired region through the Azure Portal.
