Where can I launchs VMs with size B1S?

  • 772

I have an Azure account that gives me free access to certain types of resources for a year. Each month, I have the right to launch 750 hours worth of virtual machines of size B1S.

Now, I have tried several regions (US East, US South, Japan East, Japan West), and B1S is not listed in any of them. The list invariably starts with B2S.

Which regions offer B1S?

  1. The B1s size is available in your regions. You can check it with the following command in azure cli:

    az vm list-sizes --location "eastus" | Select-String B1S

    output:

    "name": "Standard_B1s",

    I think the reason for your question is because by default the B1S size isn't in the dropdownlist inside the GUI of the vm creation menu. Below the Dropdown-List for "Size", there is a field "Change Size". You to click on it and then you can select B1S in another menu: enter image description here

    Furthermore, you can also create a vm with the azure cli and your preferred size, after you created a resource group:

    #Create resource group

    az group create -l eastus -n MyResourceGroup

    #Create B1S VM

    az vm create \
    --resource-group MyResourceGroup \
    --name myB1SVM \
    --image UbuntuLTS \
    --size Standard_B1s \
    --generate-ssh-keys
