Not able to pick B2ms VM size on Azure (free subscription account)

    Any ideas?

    I am using a free subscription. I already deployed a domain controller and member server using B2ms VM types. I need a third VM in order to test a SQL Always on setup (1 DC + 2 member servers / SQL boxes)

    Is this some type of limit or restriction?

    Hey Steve

    Thanks for reply.

    This is a brand new free subscription. All I want to do is able to setup an SQL AG lab, so I need 1 DC and 2 SQL boxes. Any ideas of what size of VM will allow me to do that? I am new to Azure.

    free subs are limited to particular zones so you may need to try a different one.

    OK, found the problem.

    This command helped:

    Get-AzVMUsage -Location "East US"

    The issue was not the zone... the issue was that the limit seems to be 4 vCPU, which honestly, it is ridiculously low. I had to use 3 VMs with 1 vCPU each and that fixed my issue.
