How to create a virtual machine in southern Brazil on Lazur?

Question

When creating a virtual machine on the azure portal, the location parameter does not display South Brazil, but the Azure pricing page lists prices in South Brazil.

I am trying to create a Datacenter Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual machine.

Is South Brazil available? What do I need to do to enable this location?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The default regions available for subscription are based on the availability of resources at that time and whether the region is "publicly available"; for example, initially Brazil was available only for paid subscribers (for example, not for trial version, BizSpark, MSDN loans, etc.).

If your subscription does not have a Region, you can contact Billing Support (which is included for free with your subscription) and open a ticket requesting access to this region.

http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/options/

Or you can do it through the Azure Portal.

I did this myself because my two subscriptions (BizSpark, MSDN) were created in Brazil, but none of them included access to the southern region of Brazil.

The billing service managed the process of gaining access to South Africa in Brazil for my subscribers - they will open an internal ticket with a Development Plan that will fulfill the actual permit. The process is zero.

The response time in my case was less than one hour from the moment of receipt of the request from the invoicing support service in order to have a ticket created using Capacity Planning. Subsequently, the capacity planning department provided Brazil with the South for my subscription within one business day.

NOTE It should be borne in mind that not all services are available in all regions; for example, products in beta, such as Premium Storage, the latest levels of virtual machines, etc., are limited to one or two regions before they become publicly available. Brazil South is one of the new Regions, and therefore it is slightly behind in terms of available services.

Answer 2

These are the places that I have for Datacenter for Windows Server 2012 R2 (I added bold text to the south of Brazil): LOCATION East Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia Southeast, South Africa ; Northern Europe, Western Europe, Japan East, Japan West, Central America, East America, East USA 2, North Central America, South Central USA, Western USA

The South Africa selection option is on the 4th page of the virtual machine settings, if you select "Create" from the gallery image. The steps are described below:

On the portal page, click NEW (bottom right) Select> Calculate> Virtual Machine> From Gallery note: Brazil South may also be available in the quick create option, as well as in the Gallery, but the Gallery has additional options for customization. Page 1 Select the image of the Windows Server 2012 R2 data center (at the top of the list for me). Click the next arrow in the lower right.

On page 2, enter the size, name, level and administrative user information, click the next arrow in the lower right.

From Page 3 you can find the Regions in the drop-down list titled "REGION / AFFINITY / VIRTUAL NETWORK GROUP". Choose Brazil South (this is available to me).
