Answer 1

Hi ARS ETW ,

Greetings!!

Could you please clarify the issue so we can assist you more effectively? To help us investigate, kindly answer the following questions:

Are you deploying SQL Server on a Virtual Machine (IaaS) or using Azure SQL Database (PaaS)?

Which Azure region are you trying to deploy the SQL Server in?

Have you checked whether your subscription has reached any resource limits or quotas in that region?

Do you see any error messages or warnings when selecting the region or image? If yes, could you share a screenshot or the exact message?

Thanks!

Answer 2

When creating a server for SQL Server on Azure, the availability of free locations can depend on the specific Azure region and the current capacity in that region. If you are not seeing any free locations available, it may be due to capacity constraints in the region you are trying to select. Azure periodically updates its available regions and capacity, so you might want to try again later or select a different region that may have available capacity for free services.

Additionally, ensure that you are following the guidelines for creating a server name and that it meets Azure's naming requirements, as this can also affect your ability to create a server successfully.
