VM SKU unavailable on CLI

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug This may be an API bug, but I don’t know where to report it, definitely not on Azure’s Terraform provider repo. I’m trying to use Terraform to create an extra nodepool for AKS using Standard_NC6s_v3 SKU. It throws an error saying that the SKU is not available, except that the subscription has the necessary quota on that region. The error message:

Code="PreconditionFailed" Message="Provisioning of resource(s) for Agent Pool gpunode failed. Error: {\n  \"code\": \"InvalidTemplateDeployment\",\n  \"message\": \"The template deployment failed with error: 'The resource with id: '/subsc
riptions/<subscription_id>/resourceGroups/MC_core-infra-dev_dev-cluster_eastus2/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets/aks-gpunode-25771213-vmss' failed validation with message: 'The requested size for reso

 zones '1' for subscription '<subscription_id>'. Please try another size or deploy to a different location or zones. See https://aka.ms/azureskunotavailable for details.'.'.\"\n }"

Trying to check with az vm list-skus --location eastus --size Standard_N --all --output table reports the same (NotAvailableForSubscription), both on East US and East US 2.

All that would be fine, but creating this extra nodepool on Azure Portal works fine. After it was created, I imported it to Terraform using the resource ID and no changes were reported.

To Reproduce Try to verify availability of a NC6s_v3 SKU using CLI. On Portal it works fine.

Expected behavior Show the SKU’s status as available and let me create it using Terraform.
