Hello,
I have several tenants on Azure. One of my own and some that I manage for others. Now it is so that I live in Germany but with all tenants (except one), no VMs can be created at the location Germany. I always get the message that this is not possible with my subscription. The tenant where everything works (all sizes of VMs are available) has the same subscription as the others where it does not work. The ones I manage are all about NoneProfit subscriptions. On my own, it's a pay-as-you-go subscription. But again, I can't book a vm in Germany.
What am I doing wrong? Did I forget a setting? Is this an error somewhere? What else can I do? Would have liked to book the VMs also in Germany.
Greetings
Didi
Hi @DietmarMller-6258 ,
the exact error message would be helpful. Which German region you try to create a VM and which VM SKU did you choose. Did you check the quotas for your subscription already?
(If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote and/or accept as answer, thank you)

Hello,
I have made a few screenshots for clarification.
The error message says that this VM is not available to me with this subscription. However, on another tenant with the same subscription, I have the choice over almost all VM sizes. So it can't be the subscription. This is a sponsored subscription with a credit that is still almost full.
Greetings

Hello @Dietmar Moeller ,
I have reviewed your response above and understand only the particular subscription is not allowing you to create a VM with B2-Series SKU in Germany West Central region with the below or
Error :
This size is currently not available in "germanywestcentral" for this subscription
Available: NotAvailableForSubscription.
I can confirm that Bs-Series is available in Germany West Central as you can see in the below screenshot
Reference " services
The best way to check if the quota reflects for this SKU under azure portal->Subscription blade-> Usage + Quota- Microsoft.compute
Incase there is no quota for the specific SKU in the desire location, please raise a request from the same blade to increase the quota. These capacity requests are handled by subscriptions and quota management team through support cases. If you don't have the ability to open a support ticket, you can send an email with your SubscriptionID and link to this thread to AzCommunity@microsoft.com with subject line as "ATTN: Priyanka". I can then enable your subscription for one time free support.
Please "Accept as Answer" and Upvote if this response helped. This would inturn help others in the community looking for remediation for similar issues.
Hello, unfortunately it is not. As you can see in the screenshot, there is no limitation. Unfortunately, I still cannot create VMs. No matter what size, nothing works in most regions. In the selection it is differentiated between "not available" and "not enough quota". Of the 347 sizes displayed, 80% are "not available".
As I wrote in my first post. I can book all sizes with another, older tenant. So they are available at the site and selectable with such a subscription. With all tenants created over the last few months, I can only book a VM at a few locations around the world.
Hello, I have written to the support team in parallel to this post and have since made a phone call. Unfortunately, the answer says that there is currently a very high demand and therefore you can not order VMs. This is supported by the fact that it also does not work with 4 other accounts. With one I have no problems. So it is just not possible (even with a regular paid subscription) to get a VM in most regions in Europe. I find that hard to imagine.
Would be interested if you would be able to create a VM in Germany West Central or West Europe.
Thank you for posting the response. This will benefit other community members who are facing similar issues.
I totally understand the situation you are in. In situations like this, it would be ideal to spin VMs in the any other regions in the geography. When the capacity is available you can migrate/move the VM to your desired regions. We have a service in azure for VM migration across regions called Azure Resource Mover. For details refer to the documentation Azure Resource Mover.
Hope this works for you.
