I'm new to azure & trying to deploying a Spot Virtual Machine with windows server 2019 gen2. When I try to create virtual machine I got this error
"The template deployment failed with error: 'The resource with id: '/subscriptions/6b3845e9-2c4e-44c6-baaf-5efb515334c2/resourceGroups/cloud-vcenter/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/EXsi' failed validation with message: 'The requested size for resource '/subscriptions/6b3845e9-2c4e-44c6-baaf-5efb515334c2/resourceGroups/cloud-vcenter/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/EXsi' is currently not available in location 'eastus' zones '' for subscription '6b3845e9-2c4e-44c6-baaf-5efb515334c2'. Please try another size or deploy to a different location or zones. See https://aka.ms/azureskunotavailable for details.'.'. (Code: InvalidTemplateDeployment)"
How can I solve this error? My account belong to "Azure for Students" subscription.

Hello, @Imran Tufail !
Azure Spot Virtual Machines allow you to take advantage of unused capacity to save money however we are currently seeing a surge in VM use in some regions. You may need to try less popular neighboring regions for availability. See more on our sticky:
Your issue could be related to the fact that not all regions support all sizes of spot instances. You can check the VM pricing to find out which sizes are in your selected region.
kind regards
Alistair
