Create Azure VM - SKU Not Available For Subscription - (Free Account)

Question

I've just created my Free Azure account with $200 credit, when I try to create a VM with the B1s SKU (free services eligible) I'm seeing...

"Size not available

This size is currently unavailable in eastus for this subscription: NotAvailableForSubscription"

Other users reported same issue, here, last month but can't find any recent post's and unclear if this is on going.

To confirm I checked each of the "Region (free services eligible)" but get the same SKU issue.

Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

Currently few VM sizes are unavailable as there is currently high demand for VMs in certain regions.

Here is a recent similar issue reported by other customer and as suggested requesting you to try to deploy in other region and check.

What is Microsoft doing to avoid capacity issues in the future?
Ensuring capacity for our customers is a top priority for Microsoft and we are working around the clock to deliver on this. The increasing demand for Azure services is evidence of the popularity of Azure, and emphasizes the need to scale up our infrastructure even more rapidly. With that in mind, we are expediting expansion and are improving our resource deployment process to respond to this strong customer demand. We have identified several improvements on how we load-balance under a high resource usage situation, and how to trigger the timely deployment of needed resources. Furthermore, we are increasing our capacity significantly – and will continue to plan for strong customer demand across all of our regions.

Hope that helps.
