Trial Account.
When setting up a VM, the "Size" dropdown has the following error: "Size not available: This size is currently unavailable in eastus for this subscription: NotAvailableForSubscription." I tried all of the Regions that are "free services eligible", got the same error each time. Help please!

    Hi anonymous user
    You can try see what regions are available for specific SKUs for your subscription using az vm list-skus:

    reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/troubleshooting/error-sku-not-available?tabs=azure-cli#solution

    The other solution is to create your VM resources in neighboring regions

    Get in touch if you need more help with this issue.
