Azure-docs: Unable to Provision new NVv4 virtual machines

[XzeroR3]

When using the Create Resource - Provision a Host Pool, I am unable to select the new generally available NVv4 virtual machines in either the South Central US, or East US region. I would like to demo the GPU partitioning in Windows Virtual Desktop but am unable to do so.

Please see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-your-azure-gpu-workstations-with-flexible-gpu-partitioning/ for general availability announcement.

Thank you

@ChristianMontoya, Can you please take a look?

[ChristianMontoya]

@msrini-MSFT , @XzeroR3 : Please follow the link to submit a request in UserVoice to enable this VM size. We require this, as it takes engineering work to test and validate each new SKU that we enable to make sure it works with our deployment templates.

I think I'm running into the same problem. Feels like either the documentation was updated way ahead of time, or there's been an issue with the NVv4 SKUs since they became generally available. All the official documentation says that NVv4 VMs should be available in South Central US, but trying to deploy an ARM template with one fails every time with this error:

InvalidTemplateDeployment - The template deployment failed with error: 'The resource with id: 
'/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/resourceGroups/<rg-name>/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/<vm-name>'
failed validation with message: 'The requested size for resource 
'/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/resourceGroups/<rg-name>/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/<vm-name>'
is currently not available in location 'southcentralus' zones '' for subscription '<subscription-id>'. Please try
another size or deploy to a different location or zones. See https://aka.ms/azureskunotavailable for details.'.'.

My SKU quota says that I have 20 cores of NVv4 available in that region though... Also, running az vm list-skus --location southcentralus --output table --size Standard_N gave me this output, which does not include NVv4 VMs:

Oh, and querying just for the regions where it is available, does not include SouthCentralUS in the output:
