I'm trying to create a new spot instance, but apparently no VM sizes are available for spot. This has never been an issue before. The region is EU West.
My Spot quota has 12 CPUs left, so that's not the issue.
Anyone have the same problem with spot instances?

Few customers reported that they are able to create it now. Can you please try it and let us know. Thanks.
It seems to be working again. Thanks.

The problem is now being admitted by Azure support. They are working to fix it.
I am actually able to see spot instances again and spin them up. Go ahead and try it now,

yea I just saw that as well, I have been spamming the support the last days about this
I have the exact same problem! I have used Azure spot so many times in the past but I can't seem to find a single available instance today.
I literally checked all Azure regions around the world and all of them came up empty. That cannot be right. Looks like a glitch?
I opened a support ticket as well to see what they have to say.
Hope this resolves quick.
It sure seems like a glitch, unless they changed some subscription terms not allowing spot instances altogether.
I wasn't able to submit a ticket – would you please let me know it this get resolved for you?
Thanks!
I dont know what is wrong with Azure customer service. They keep driving me around in circles asking the same thing over and over again: "what is the exact problem", "please upload screenshots". I am getting fed up as I have lost 3 days on this thing and no one from Azure seems to care.
It might help if you also open a support ticket under the "Request quota increase category". If they see bunch of people complaining about this then they might do something to fix this. I even posted a link to this discussion in the support ticket.
After requesting so many support tickets, did anyone's subscription get disabled due to "security reasons"? Mine did and I cannot seem to reactivate it.
