Can we create Azure Spot Virtual Machines using Visual Studio Enterprise Subscription (0063P)?

Question

Hi,

I am trying to create Azure Spot VM using my visual studio subscription. But I am not able to create any spot vm. It keeps failing with following error

The template deployment failed with error: 'The resource with id: '/subscriptions/7--f-sdfs-f/resourceGroups/RG-VirtualMachine/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/VM-Spot' failed validation with message: 'The requested size for resource '/subscriptions/7--f-sdfs-f/resourceGroups/RG-VirtualMachine/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/VM-Spot' is currently not available in location 'eastasia' zones '' for subscription '7--f-sdfs-f'. Please try another size or deploy to a different location or zones. See https://aka.ms/azureskunotavailable for details.'.'. (Code: InvalidTemplateDeployment)

I tried different sizes, locations. But none of them work. If I uncheck spot vm checkbox, then I could create those.

So, I want to know whether Azure Spot Virtual machines can be created using Visual Studio Enterprise Subscription (MS-AZR-0063P) and offer MSDN?

Thank you.

Hi @VaibhavK-7024
Azure Spot VM is only supported on the following subscriptions:

• Enterprise Agreement
• Pay-as-you-go offer code (003P)
• Sponsored (0036P and 0136P)
• For Cloud Service Provider (CSP), see the Partner Center or contact your partner directly.

Unfortunately MSDN or Visual Studio Enterprise Subscription (0063P) are not supported
