# Common issues: Unavailable virtual machine SKU
## Possible error messages
- `Creating Virtual Machine (The requested VM size Standard_X is not available in the current region)`
## Resolution
There are two possible resolutions for this issue:
- Choose a region where the desired VM size is available
- Select a VM size that is available in the desired region
To check the available VM sizes, select **Settings**, view the **Azure** types, and check the Azure VM Size records for the requested region. If the **Restricted** column shows **true**, this VM size isn't available for your subscription.
## More information
For more information, [this chart](https://azure.microsoft.com/global-infrastructure/services/?products=virtual-machines) shows which VM sizes are available in which regions.
