Task 2: Azure VM creation task issue || standard_b1s size not available

Hi Team,

I’m unable to complete my second task creating VM on azure practice kodekloud.

While creating vm, unable to select mentioned standard_b1s size, since it is not available currently under region - US west.

Please help further to move on to the next task by finishing this. PFA

I’m not sure what happened in your case. I tried this exercise, and you have to do an extra click to get the B1 size, but I was able to do so. When I created the vm, this is the data I got:

This is resolved and able to create VM by choosing standard_b1s size.

Thank You.
