I am trying to run the following command in step 3 of exercise: https://microsoftlearning.github.io/AZ-700-Designing-and-Implementing-Microsoft-Azure-Networking-Solutions/Instructions/Exercises/M02-Unit%203%20Create%20and%

$RGName = "ContosoResourceGroup" New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $RGName -TemplateFile CoreServicesVMazuredeploy.json -TemplateParameterFile CoreServicesVMazuredeploy.parameters.json

Following error message:

New-AzResourceGroupDeployment: 3:38:07 AM - Error: Code=InvalidTemplateDeployment; Message=The template deployment 'CoreServicesVMazuredeploy' is not valid according to the validation procedure. The tracking id is '387c61c5-1ff5-4ade-a21a-bb0a4a703b60'. See inner errors for details.

New-AzResourceGroupDeployment: 3:38:07 AM - Error: Code=SkuNotAvailable; Message=The requested VM size for resource 'Following SKUs have failed for Capacity Restrictions: Standard_DS1_v2' is currently not available in location 'eastus'. Please try another size or deploy to a different location or different zone. See https://aka.ms/azureskunotavailable for details.

New-AzResourceGroupDeployment: The deployment validation failed

What is possible solution for this? Should I change the SKU capacity or change location?

Awaiting your kind feedback.

Thanks.

    Hi ,

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    Option 1: Change the VM SKU

    If you want to keep the region as East US, you need to pick a different VM size that is available in that region. Steps:

    1. Run this command to see which sizes are available: Get-AzVMSize -Location eastus

    Pick a similar size, such as Standard_B2s or Standard_DS2_v2, and update the CoreServicesVMazuredeploy.parameters.json file to use the new size.

    Option 2: Change the Region

    If you want to keep the same SKU (Standard_DS1_v2), deploy to another region where the SKU is available. Steps:

    1. Check available regions for the SKU: az vm list-skus --size Standard_DS1_v2 --location eastus --output table (OR) az vm list-skus --size Standard_DS1_v2 --output table

    Update your deployment command and template parameters to use a region like eastus2, centralus, or westus.

    For the lab, the simplest solution is to switch the region to eastus2 or centralus in your parameters file and re-run the deployment.
