Hi all.
I have enabled encryption at host using the following command:
egister-AzProviderFeature -FeatureName "EncryptionAtHost" -ProviderNamespace "Microsoft.Compute"

After a few minutes i run:
Get-AzProviderFeature -FeatureName "EncryptionAtHost" -ProviderNamespace "Microsoft.Compute"

And i get this:
FeatureName ProviderName RegistrationState

-----------
------------ -----------------
EncryptionAtHost Microsoft.Compute Registered

But, when i go to deploy a VM in teh subscription, i don't see the option to select 'encryption at host' as it shows in the doc:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/disks-enable-host-based-encryption-portal

What am I missing? Why can't i chose the option. Any ideas welcome.

    You need to sign into the portal with a specific link. Encryption at host is not currently visible in the public Azure portal without using the link. Also make sure you are using a supported VM.

    Please try the link and see if it works for you. If you are still facing issues please let us know and we can continue to investigate.
