Raincode 360 - Mainframe to Cloud Native

Question

From Azure Marketplace, I am creating a "VM for 'Raincode 360 - Mainframe to Cloud Native" VM. The process asks for a Subscription, Resource Group and Region. Then Raincode 360 allows you to customize the VM. No matter what size I choose for the VM, I always get a message that says : The requested VM size for resource 'Following SKUs have failed for Capacity Restrictions: Standard_B1ms' is currently not available in location 'XXXXX'. Please try another size or deploy to a different location or different zone.

Please suggest.

Hey Mahesh Ketkar,

It sounds like you're running into capacity issues when trying to create a VM for Raincode 360 on Azure. This can happen if the specific VM size you've selected is currently not available in the chosen location due to demand or zone-specific constraints. Here are a few steps you can try:

1. Choose a Different VM Size: Go back to the size selection and try a different SKU. Sometimes, certain sizes are temporarily out of stock in specific regions.
2. Change the Region: If you're flexible, consider deploying the VM in a different Azure region where that VM size is available. You can find a list of available sizes for each region in the Azure portal.
3. Check Azure Service Health: Sometimes, specific regions may have service interruptions. Check the Azure Status Page to see if there are any known issues.
4. Scaling Options: If the workload allows, consider using a lower-tier VM size that you can later scale up once the application is running smoothly.
5. Contact Azure Support: If you're consistently unable to provision the VM size across multiple regions, it may be worth reaching out to Azure support for further assistance.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more information!

Follow-Up Questions:

• What specific size are you trying to deploy (e.g., Standard_B1ms)?
• Which region are you currently trying to deploy the VM in?
• Have you checked if the size is available in other regions or zones?
• Are there specific resource constraints or requirements for your application that we should consider when selecting the VM size?
