Intially I faced the issue of Size not available , there was remedy to this in some other support thread where it was recommended to change the Location but I have tried that too but the issue still remains the same.

Hello, @Krishnamurthy Balaji !

We've seen unprecedented demand for GPU VMs over the past several months which can make it difficult to create GPU resources. There are two things we can do:

1. Ask us to try to find a region with your VM size (NC series). The NC series is experiencing high demand so I would skip this step for now, but others may have better success with this for other VM sizes or at some point in the future.
2. Create a support ticket to increase your quota for a specific region. You can create a support request to get expert guidance for the region that you are interested in (Issue Type: Service and subscription Limit (quotas) and Quota type: Compute-VM (core-vCPUs) subscription limit increases). There are instructions to do this in our documentation and I would be happy to help with the process if you run into any issues:

@Krishnamurthy Balaji , I'll follow up with you directly to try to get this resolved.
