I'm attempting to do this exercise:
Exercise - Create an Azure virtual machine - Training | Microsoft Learn
I successfully create the Resource Group via the CLI, but when I copy/paste the given command into the CLI to create the VM:
az vm create \ --resource-group "IntroAzureRG" \ --name my-vm \ --size Standard_D2s_v5 \ --public-ip-sku Standard \ --image Ubuntu2204 \ --admin-username azureuser \ --generate-ssh-keys
I get the following error(s):
brian [ ~ ]$ az vm create \ --resource-group "IntroAzureRG" \ --name my-vm \ --size Standard_D2s_v5 \ --public-ip-sku Standard \ --image Ubuntu2204 \ --admin-username azureuser \ --generate-ssh-keys The default value of '--size' will be changed to 'Standard_D2s_v5' from 'Standard_DS1_v2' in a future release. The command failed with an unexpected error.

What am I doing wrong?
Training: Instruction to develop new skills.
I believe the cause of the error is that my subscription doesn't have the necessary resources:
QuotaExceeded: standardDSv5Family cores in eastus — Current limit: 0, Needed: 2.
Why does this exercise have you attempt to create something that you can not? Is this another exercise that should be using the Learn sandbox? Because there is no option to enable the sandbox in this exercise either.
Not all exercises have a sandbox, so you need to use your own Azure subscription for this exercise.
So, it looks like your subscription does not have any quota in the eastus region. Try another region or switch to another subscription if you have more than one.
Thanks for the reply. I only have my recently created pay-as-you-go subscription that I've never changed anything on. I'm physically located in usEast.
As a beginner at the very beginning of Azure training, how am I supposed to know to do this, and about whether or not I have a quota in my region? How am I supposed to know which region to change to?
This is 1 hour into Azure training coming from never using it at all and I already have to disregard the exact steps in training and know to change something myself in order for it to work?
I kept the region as EastUS, but I changed the VM size in the command from 'Standard_D2s_v5' to 'Standard_D2as_v6" and that worked.
Although I have little to no idea why it worked or what I even changed. This is a beginner exercise. Can it please be explained to me why this change worked and why it was necessary? Is the training documentation wrong?
Without knowing which subscription you are using and how that subscription is configured, I cannot tell you. If you are using a free subscription, you will find many limitations on region, VM size, resource types, quotas, etc.

Same exact issue as you Brian. CoPilot recommended this command to check available quotas in EastUS: az vm list-skus --location eastus --output table
Problem with this command is that the list is larger than what you can scroll to the top of.
Exporting the list as a .CSV appears to be the route to go using the below navigation:
Going to Azure Home -> Quotas -> My Quotas and selecting the Group by Quota option on the drop down menu at the right helped me navigate also.
Still trying to find a suitable alternative VM..
