100 days of azure - day 21

Hello,

I’m trying to complete this task, but the default resource group is from west US but in the task it is mentioned to create a vm and public ip under east US. I have already completed everything in the default west US region but still the task is getting failed.

I need help regarding this as I believe there is an issue with the task because the rg should be in east US rather than west US.

thanks in advance mates!

The RG is probably NOT the problem – it is not restricted to a single region; it’s just a “bag of stuff” that makes it easier to delete things in one operation.

There may be a problem with machine size in East-US due to capacity restrictions. I’m having engineering look into this.

@rob_kodekloud, thanks for your response. I look forward to your next response if the issue has resolved.

Hi @chemuu ,

This issue has been resolved. Please give it a try.

FYI, please make sure to choose the region mentioned in the task description from the drop-down list.

Regards,

Hello @Tej-Singh-Rana ,
The region has been corrected but the selectable size is only standard B2 and not the one stated in the instructions.
I have tried doing the task but still getting the error that i have not completed the task.

Hi everyone,

I was able to complete the lab successfully. The reason it was failing for me was that I was creating a named SSH key. The lab expects a default-named key pair, not a custom one.

When generating SSH keys on the azure-client host, make sure you use:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048

and press Enter when it asks for the file name, so it creates:

~/.ssh/id_rsa
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Then use id_rsa.pub when creating the VM.

After doing this, the lab passed.

Thanks everyone for the help - really appreciate it!
