Need help in creating compute cluster

[Naveen_Sequeira]

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re doing well.

I’m currently facing an issue while trying to create a cluster in Azure Databricks (Personal). Despite trying various approaches, I keep encountering the following error message:

The VM size you are specifying is not available. SkuNotAvailable: The requested VM size for resource 'Following SKUs have failed for Capacity Restrictions: Standard_DS3_v2' is currently not available in location 'eastus'. Please try another size or deploy to a different location or different zone.

I have tried:

Requesting quota increases for the Standard_DS3_v2 VM family

Attempting cluster creation in different Azure regions

Selecting alternative VM sizes

Confirming all permissions are set correctly

However, the issue persists.

I have created new microsoft account and upgraded supscription Pay as you go still no luck

Has anyone else faced this problem? Are there any known workarounds or best practices to resolve VM SKU availability issues in East US, or recommended alternative VM sizes or regions that work well with Databricks clusters?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Naveen_Sequeira ,

If you increased quota and it didn't help then just try to use different region. In Azure, some machines are sometimes unavailable due to regional capacity issue. They should be available in another region though.
You can try with:

• East US 2 

• South Central US

You can also check which SKUs are available in a location or zone using AZ CLI:

az vm list-skus --location centralus --size Standard_D --all --output table

• --location filters output by location
• --size searches by a partial size name.
• --all shows all information and includes sizes that aren't available for the current subscription.

It should return to you following table. Pick SKU which has None in Restrictions column:
