I am trying to create an azure vm in the Germany West Central region but I am getting the following error:

Error: compute.VirtualMachinesClient#CreateOrUpdate: Failure sending request: StatusCode=0 -- Original Error: autorest/azure: Service returned an error. Status= Code="SkuNotAvailable" Message="The requested size for resource '/subscriptions//resourceGroups/shared-rg/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/jumphost' is currently not available in location 'germanywestcentral' zones '' for subscription ''. Please try another size or deploy to a different location or zones. See https://aka.ms/azureskunotavailable for details." │ │ with module.jump_host_vm.azurerm_virtual_machine.vm, │ on modules/virtual-machine/main.tf line 1, in resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "vm": │ 1: resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "vm" {

I am using the Standard_A1_v2 size and SKU of 22.04-LTS. Please fin my terraform code below:

resource "azurerm_virtual_machine" "vm" {
  name                  = var.vm_name 
  location              = var.location
  resource_group_name   = var.rg_name
  network_interface_ids = var.nic_id
  vm_size               = var.vm_size #"Standard_A1_v2"

  delete_os_disk_on_termination = true

  delete_data_disks_on_termination = true

  storage_image_reference  {
    publisher = var.storage_image_reference.publisher #"Canonical"
    offer     = var.storage_image_reference.offer     #"UbuntuServer"
    sku       = var.storage_image_reference.sku       #"20.04-LTS"
    version   = var.storage_image_reference.version   #"latest"
  }
  storage_os_disk  {
    name              = var.storage_os_disk.name              #"myosdisk1"
    caching           = var.storage_os_disk.caching           #"ReadWrite"
    create_option     = var.storage_os_disk.create_option     #"FromImage"
    managed_disk_type = var.storage_os_disk.managed_disk_type #"Standard_LRS"
  }

  os_profile_linux_config {
    disable_password_authentication = true
  }
  tags = merge(var.common_tags)
}

and the values for the above is as follows:

jump_host_vm_name = "jumphost"
jump_host_vm_size = "Standard_A1_v2"
jump_host_storage_image_reference = {
  publisher = "Canonical"
  offer     = "UbuntuServer"
  sku       = "22.04-LTS"
  version   = "latest"
}
jump_host_storage_os_disk = {
  name              = "myosdisk"
  caching           = "ReadWrite"
  create_option     = "FromImage"
  managed_disk_type = "Standard_LRS"
}

Can someone help me understand why it is not working? According to the azure site [1], this VM is available in the Germany region.

CodePudding user response：

Seems the Canonical:UbuntuServer:22.04-LTS:latest" was not available and its under preview. we can use bellowed version 16.04-LTS /19_10-daily-gen2 For 16.04 version, VM size as "Standard_A1_v2" For latest sku 19_10-daily-gen2, supported VM size will be Standard_DS2_v2

 storage_image_reference {
    publisher = "Canonical"
    offer     = "UbuntuServer"
    sku       = "16.04-LTS" //"19_10-daily-gen2"
    version   = "latest"
  }

Here is the command to get the supported versions of SKUs

Get-AzVMImageSku -Location "Germany West Central" -PublisherName "Canonical" -Offer "UbuntuServer" | Select Skus
