Describe Azure compute and networking services - Exercise - Create an Azure virtual machine - Task 2: Create a Linux virtual machine

[LADCode2021]

Describe the bug

The instructions tell you to use az vm create --resource-group "IntroAzureRG" --name my-vm --size Standard_D2s_v5 --public-ip-sku Standard --image Ubuntu2204 --admin-username azureuser --generate-ssh-keys

However, this brings traceback errors such as: Code: SkuNotAvailable Message: The requested VM size for resource 'Following SKUs have failed for Capacity Restrictions: Standard_D4ads_v5' 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.

I have tried multiple different SKU's all getting the same error.

Hi @LADCode2021,

2.79.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.81.0).

If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.
