I'm trying to start a virtual machine in West Europe region, but for some reason that regions isn't available in the drop down.
I have created Azure Web apps in West Europe, but I can't create a VM there. The only available regions are Central US, South Central US, East Asia, SouthEasts Asia and West Japan.
My subscription is Pay-as-you-Go (if that makes any difference).
Any ideas ?
Thanks
I opened a ticket earlier today and seems they are having a capacity or other sort of issue. New subscriptions have West Europe disabled. With a ticket you can ask Microsoft to enable it for you. They will ask you how many VMs (and which types) you expect to provision. They expect processing the form can take up to two days. So far the unlimited cloud capacity on demand
You have to open a billing support ticket to have them enable the region(s) for you.

Really puzzled why I am not seeing all locations - only 4 - US West, US East, Japan West and Japan East in my trial subscription. Is there any filtering I inadvertently setup?
Any pointers would be really helpful

I am giving many workshops for Azure and I see this behavior a lot for Azure Passes (also kind of trial accounts) but have not seen this for Azure Trials.
I noticed that I have more location options in the new Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com) and less in the old management portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com).
Also to consider, not all services are available at all locations. But the standard services like VMs or storage should be available everywhere. You can check via the service overview whether your desired service is available.
While creating a new Resource Group or app service plan/ location on new Azure Management portal, I get the following error.
Error submitting the deployment request. Additional details from the underlying API that might be helpful: The provided location 'Central India' is not permitted for subscription. List of permitted regions is 'eastasia,southeastasia,eastus,eastus2,westus,northcentralus,southcentralus,centralus,northeurope,westeurope,japaneast,japanwest,brazilsouth'. Please contact support to change your supported regions.
This is when I try & select any Indian reagions for the service. I've tried with Central India, West India & South India.
What's wrong? Are Indian regions allowed to be selected for creating new resource groups or app plans? Is this something to have with my subscription? Can I change my existing Resource group's region?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

As of today, Azure DCs are not open for general consumption in India. Right now only EA and some other hand-picked customers have their subscriptions enabled to make use of India DCs.
So in short, your Subscription is not enabled for creation of the resources in India DC. You will just have to wait till the time they open the DCs here in India for general public (or in other words Pay As You Go subscription).
Quoting from https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/regions/:
The India regions are available to volume licensing customers and
partners with a local enrolment in India. The India regions will open
to direct online Azure subscriptions in 2016.
When creating a VM on azure portal, the location option does not list South Brazil, but the Azure pricing page lists South Brazil prices.
I am trying to create a Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter VM.
Is South Brazil available? What do I have to do to enable this location?
Thank you.
The default Regions that are available to a subscription are based on availability of resources at the time and whether the Region is 'generally available'; for example, originally, Brazil South was only available to Paid Subscriptions (e.g. not trial, BizSpark, MSDN credits etc).
If there is a Region that is missing from your Subscription, you can contact Billing Support (which is included free with your subscription), and open a ticket requesting access to that Region.
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/options/
Or, you can do so through the Azure Portal.
I have performed this myself, as my two Subscriptions (BizSpark, MSDN) were both created in Brazil, but neither included access to the Brazil South Region.
Billing Support managed the process of gaining access to Brazil South for my Subscriptions - they will open an internal ticket with Capacity Planning, who will perform the actual resolution. The process is zero cost.
Response time in my case was less than one hour from requesting assistance from Billing Support, to having the ticket created with Capacity Planning. The Capacity Planning department subsequently enabled Brazil South for my subscriptions within one business day.
NOTE: It should be borne in mind that not all services are available in all Regions; for example products that are in beta such as Premium Storage, the latest Tiers of Virtual Machines, etc, are restricted to one or two Regions before they become generally available. Brazil South is one of the newer Regions, and therefore is slightly behind in terms of services that are available.
These are the locations that I have available for Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (I added the bold to Brazil South):
LOCATIONS
East Asia;Southeast Asia;Australia East;Australia Southeast;Brazil South;North Europe;West Europe;Japan East;Japan West;Central US;East US;East US 2;North Central US;South Central US;West US
The option to choose Brazil South occurs on the 4th page of the VM setup, assuming you choose Create from a Gallery Image. Steps are outlined below:
From Portal Homepage, Click NEW (Bottom Right)
Choose > Compute > Virtual Machine > From Gallery
note: Brazil South may also be available in the Quick Create option as well as from Gallery, but Gallery gives more options for the setup.
From Page One Choose the Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Image (top of the list for me). Click the next arrow bottom right.
From Page 2, enter size, name, Tier, and Administrative user data, click next arrow bottom right.
From Page 3, you can find the Regions in the dropdown list titled "REGION/AFFINITY GROUP/VIRTUAL NETWORK". Choose Brazil South (it is available for me).

My Azure Website is hosted in North Central US and when I try to create an Azure Storage in North Central US the subscription I want to use disappears (other subscriptions are still showing). Selecting East US allows me to select the right subscription.
Why?
See the 3rd paragraph on the Windows Azure service dashboard page at http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/service-dashboard/.
North Central US and South Central US regions are no longer accepting Compute or Storage deployments for new customers. Existing customers as of June 24th (for North Central US) and May 23rd (for South Central US) are not impacted. All other services remain available for deployment in those two regions. Two new regions, "West US" and "East US", are now available to all customers with the full range of Windows Azure Services, except for the Caching service.
This is because when you perform the subscription of the site, the regions are those with available storage and processing. Once a host of subscription has not capacity, is not listed as available subscription region.
I am deploying applications to the 6 regions supported by Microsoft Azure, and would like to have a little bit more information about where the files are being served from, as I am trying to correlate HTTP download times from various locations around the world with the location of where they're being served.
Unfortunately, when I put the host IP addresses through any of the common Geolocation tools, they either are unresolvable or all resolve to the center of the North America!
I can understand why MS don't want to be too explicit on where http traffic originates from, but an approximate location would be useful - is this possible?
You can find your answer on the Windows Azure Trust Center site: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/trust-center/privacy/
Asia: East (Hong Kong) and Southeast (Singapore)
Europe: North (Ireland) and West (Netherlands)
United States: North Central (Illinois), South Central (Texas), East (Virginia), and West (California)
It that close enough?
By the way, technically there are three regions (United States, Asia and Europe). Each Data Center within the same region is called a Sub-Region. The two new data centers in the Unites States were announced on April 5th.
It's actually very easy to get the approximate location based on the IP. Simply compare the IP of your hosted service (resolve yourapp.cloudapp.net) with the official Windows Azure Datacenter IP Ranges.
