Answer 1

Hi @Nagesh ,

please check if these VM SKUs (free) are available for you:

For Windows VM: B2ATS

For Linux VM: B2ATS, and B2PTS

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

As the B series (version 1/v1) is being retired in a lot of Azure regions the B2ATS might be the preferred VM SKU.

Hello @Nagesh

Thank you for sharing your concerns with the Azure community. You’re seeing that error because your Azure subscription doesn’t allow virtual machine creation in the UK South region.

Even though you are on a free trial and have credits, Microsoft restricts certain regions depending on subscription type, quota availability, or compliance rules.

I will advise you change the region to one supported by your subscription (e.g., East US, West Europe), and also make sure the VM size you selected is eligible.

Let me know if this was helpful.
