Azure VM tutorial not working.

Question

Upon typing this code :

$vmParams = @{
ResourceGroupName = 'TutorialResources'
Name = 'TutorialVM1'
Location = 'eastus'
ImageName = 'Win2016Datacenter'
PublicIpAddressName = 'tutorialPublicIp'
Credential = $cred
OpenPorts = 3389
Size = 'Standard_D2s_v3'
}
$newVM1 = New-AzVM @vmParams

Followed by this Command:

$newVM1 = New-AzVM @vmParams

This error pops up:

New-AzVM: The requested size for resource '/subscriptions/confidential/resourceGroups/TutorialResources/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/TutorialVM1' is currently not available in location 'eastus' zones '' for subscription 'confidential'. Please try another size or deploy to a different location or zones. See https://aka.ms/azureskunotavailable for details.

Not sure if I did something wrong or need to try another size?

Answer 1

Actually, Microsoft is experiencing some capacity issues in the US regions, so it might happen that they are cutting available resources for sponsored subscriptions.

So this is why you are getting that error... please change the region to something different... as this is "just" a tutorial... you might use a region on a different continent.

You did nothing wrong, your script should work like you expect.
