    Hello @Shyam Kumar ,

    It looks like you're facing a deployment issue with your virtual machine, specifically an error indicating that the resource write operation failed, leading to a provisioning state of 'Failed.' Here's what I suggest you do:

    1. Check the Complete Error Message: The full error message often contains specific codes like QuotaExceeded, SKUNotAvailable, etc. This information can be crucial for determining the exact cause of the failure. Make sure to retrieve that and provide it for further insights.
    2. Common Causes for VM Deployment Issues:
    • Quota or Resource Availability: Sometimes the region you're deploying in doesn't have enough resources for the VM size you've selected. Check your subscription’s quota and if other VMs are running in that region.
    • Incorrect VM Size or SKU: Ensure that the VM size you're trying to deploy is available in the chosen region. If it’s not, you might need to select a different size or even a different region.
    • Network Configuration Issues: Problems with network interfaces, public IP addresses, or network security groups can lead to deployment failures. Verify that your network configurations are correct.
    1. Steps to Troubleshoot:
    1. Next Steps:
    • If possible, provide the complete error message including any specific error codes.
    • Consider trying a simpler VM configuration or a different region temporarily to see if that allows for a successful deployment.

    Hope this helps you get your VM up and running! If you have any updates or further details, feel free to share!
