i am doing this module - Exercise - Set up a DSC and configure a desired state but error is coming while creating a vm

Question

$ PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
sirothiyashalini@Azure:~$ az vm create \

--resource-group learn-df90a5df-3520-422f-b7ae-eb2b371c2d78 \
--name myVM \
--image win2019datacenter \
--admin-username $USERNAME \
--admin-password $PASSWORD

It is recommended to use parameter "--public-ip-sku Standard" to create new VM with Standard public IP. Please note that the default public IP used for VM creation will be changed from Basic to Standard in the future.

Hi @Shalini Sirothiya ,

maybe this helps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/727655/39vmcustomization39-is-not-enabled-for-the-subscri.html

It looks like the issue is related to the version on AZ CLI.

A fix should be on the way: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/5099

Hello @Shalini Sirothiya ,

As suggetsed by Andreas above this has been identified as an issue with Azure CLI with the release of 2.33.0.
From service side, our team will force the deployment and will be completed this week. In the meantime you can update az-cli in runtime

curl -sL https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg > /dev/null
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install azure-cli
az version

You can use the Azure CLI locally on your computer if you need to, however:
