Azure Windows VM deployment top issues

Applies to: ✔️ Windows VMs

The following top issues may help resolve your issue. To start troubleshooting, review these steps:

The cluster cannot support the requested VM size

Retry the request using a smaller VM size. If the size of the requested VM cannot be changed, follow these steps:

  1. Stop all the VMs in the availability set by selecting Resource groups > your resource group > Resources > your availability set > Virtual Machines > your virtual machine > Stop.
  2. After all the VMs stop, create the VM in the desired size.
  3. Start the new VM first, and then select each of the stopped VMs and select Start.

The cluster does not have free resources

Retry the request later. If the new VM can be part of a different availability set, follow these steps:

  1. Create a VM in a different availability set (in the same region).
  2. Add the new VM to the same virtual network.
