Unable to create Test VM in Azure Portal free subscription

Hi @Akash Dubey ,

the availability of VM are depending on the chosen SKU and region.

Some VM series/SKUs are retired and some have capacity limitations related to Azure regions.

pPease check if these VM SKUs (free) are available for you:

For Windows VM: B2ATS

For Linux VM: B2ATS, and B2PTS

All of these are free of charge (750 hours per month) if used with a P6 (64GiB) managed disk.

As the B series (version 1/v1) is being retired in a lot of Azure regions the B2ATS might be the preferred VM SKU.

Since the beginning of July 2026, Azure VM SKU series v1 through v4 have been subject to certain capacity or availability restrictions.

Please take a look here: Previous-generation VM size series capacity limitations and migration guidance

Instead of using v1 - v4 Azure VM SKU series it is recommended to select v5, v6, and v7 VM series: Migration recommendations
