I am trying to create a single node cluster using my free trial account . I have selected west india as my region while creating resource group. When I am trying to create "all purpose cluster" and then I am trying to select node type, all VM seems to be disabled. I also tried to check in usage and quota, here also I see "no usage" . It seems everything is disabled every node type. Please let me know what setting change to do to make this work

    Hi @bikash hota
    The issue where you cannot select any node types and see “No usage” across all regions occurs because your current free trial subscription has no VM quota allocated. This is a common and expected limitation of free trial subscriptions in Azure. Due to this, you cannot create Databricks clusters as there are no VMs available under your subscription quota.

    Quota increases are generally not supported on free trial subscriptions, so waiting or trying other regions will not resolve the problem.

    To fix this:
    you need to upgrade your subscription to a Pay-As-You-Go plan. Upgrading will grant you VM quotas and access to a wider range of VM sizes and regions, enabling successful creation of Databricks workspaces and clusters.

    After upgrading, verify your VM quotas in the Azure portal (under Subscriptions > Usage + quotas) for your selected region. Once sufficient quota is available, you should be able to create the cluster without the “no node enabled” error.

    Note: This solution resolves the issue in the vast majority of cases related to VM quota restrictions on free trial accounts. If the issue persists after upgrading, further troubleshooting may be needed.

    For more information about Azure quotas and limits, see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/azure-subscription-service-limits
