Troubleshoot AKS cluster creation failure

This article describes an issue in which creating an AKS cluster with a GPU-enabled default node pool fails. This issue occurs when you specify NVIDIA L-series GPUs as the default node pool.

Symptoms

The following command causes the AKS cluster creation to fail:

az aksarc create --node-vm-size <Standard_NC16_L4_1>

Workaround

Create an AKS cluster with a non-GPU enabled default node pool, then add the needed GPU enabled node pool.

az aksarc create <default node pool size>
az aksarc nodepool add --node-vm-size <Standard_NC16_L4_1>

Verification

Once the fix is done, you should be able to create your cluster. If you still encounter issues, please reach out to Microsoft Support.

Contact Microsoft Support

If the problem persists, collect the AKS cluster logs before you create a support request.
