If you encounter an error indicating a “Cloud Provider Resource Stockout,” it means that the specific virtual machine (VM) size you’re trying to use isn’t available at the moment, usually because of capacity issues in the data center. This isn’t a problem with your subscription or resource limits, but rather a temporary lack of physical hardware for that VM size in your chosen region, such as East US.
These stockouts happen when the data center runs out of available machines of that size. Since they are related to physical capacity constraints, increasing your quotas or changing settings won’t solve this problem. The only entity that can address this is Microsoft’s infrastructure team, and they typically work to restore capacity over time.
If you urgently need this specific VM size for important workloads, your best option is to reach out to Azure support. They might help find capacity planning solutions or provide updates on when resources will be available again. However, the quicker workaround is to switch to a different VM size or select a different region where the capacity isn’t fully booked.
Changing VM sizes or moving to another region can often resolve the issue faster than waiting for capacity to be replenished. If you find this guide helpful, please consider giving it a thumbs up so others facing similar issues can benefit as well.
