    Hello @praveeen

    The free VM size B1s (B-series v1) is being retired in many Azure regions and is now only available in limited quantities.

    How to check:

    Go to Subscription > Usage + Quotas > and look for the B-series quota details. User's image

    Subscription and quota notes:

    You can confirm availability by navigating to Azure Portal -> Subscriptions -> Usage + quotas.

    • If the B-series quota isn’t available, you can request access by submitting a support ticket.
    • Free Trial subscriptions can’t request quota increases, so retired or restricted SKUs like Standard_B1s can’t be enabled in those subscriptions.

    Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/quotas/per-vm-quota-requests


    Solution:

    Microsoft suggests using the newer B-series v2 (Bsv2) VM sizes, which are supported and available in more regions.

    For Windows VM: try B2ATS

    For Linux VM: try B2ATS, and B2PTS

    All of these are free of charge (750 hours per month) if used with a P6 (64GiB) managed disk.
