Unable to deploy a AKS cluster in Azure

Question

I'm trying to create a AKS cluster and the "Cluster configuration" is "Production Economy" but the deployment fails with this error message.. I also tried the default "Standard_D8ds_v4" for the nodes and tried changing the configuration to "DevTest" too but no luck. I would appreciate if someone could help me resolve this issue.

"The requested VM size for resource 'Following SKUs have failed for Capacity Restrictions: Standard_D8pds_v6' 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

Hi Ramanujam Mahadevan Srinivasan

You may check the availability of the SKU Standard_D8pds_v6 by using the azure cli command as below

az vm list-skus --location eastus --size Standard_D8pds_v6 --all --output table

For me, it reports as below:

Have a look from your subscription also and see if you have the sku available.

If the SKU isn't available for your subscription, you can submit a SKU request to Azure Support.

If the SKU is available, please check, if the compute resource has registered in your subscription something like see below:

If you see that the resource is unregistered, you can register and try creating the resource again

Another check point is to verify the quota availability in your subscription. Check, if sufficient quota is available for the sku as below

Hope this helps.
