Can not launch VM on Eastus. It is the smallest possible VM so this doesn't seem reasonable.

When I try to launch the VM it fails and seems to be saying the resources aren't available on "eastus". But this is the smallest VM I could find out of all the choices, so that doesn't seem reasonable. I've probably done something else wrong... I've tried using CoPilot to fix the problem, but that doesn't seem to be helping.

    Hi @Steve Gray ,

    it looks like in the selected zone (Zone 1) aren't enough resources to launch the VM for this VM SKU type.

    You have different options now:

    Wait until resources for this VM SKU are available in the selected zone. This might not work for you.

    Choose a different VM SKU series. This might lead in to higher hosts.

    Delete the VM. But keep the Disk -> very important! (Don't delete the disk!)

    Create a new VM based on the undeleted disk without zone redundancy and selecting the zone during deployment. This way Azure will deploy the VM in in a zone that has available resources.

    Create a VM from a specialized disk -> Follow the steps in the "After you have the disk that you want to use, you can create the VM in the portal:" section.
