This still seems to be a problem on a lot of regions, and not limited to bootstrapping Deploying to e.g. azure/ukwest works fine - juju bootstrap azure/ukwest cdk1 Creating Juju controller "cdk1" on azure/ukwest Looking for packaged Juju agent version 2.7.4 for amd64 Launching controller instance(s) on azure/ukwest... - machine-0 (arch=amd64 mem=3.5G cores=1) Installing Juju agent on bootstrap instance Fetching Juju GUI 2.15.0 Waiting for address Attempting to connect to 192.168.16.4:22 Attempting to connect to 51.11.120.37:22 Connected to 51.11.120.37 Running machine configuration script... Bootstrap agent now started Contacting Juju controller at 192.168.16.4 to verify accessibility... Bootstrap complete, controller "cdk1" is now available Controller machines are in the "controller" model Initial model "default" added N.B. This deploys a 'Standard_D1_v2" instance type Trying the same on the default region (centralus) yields errors: juju bootstrap azure cdk2 Creating Juju controller "cdk2" on azure/centralus Looking for packaged Juju agent version 2.7.4 for amd64 Launching controller instance(s) on azure/centralus...

Bootstrapping whilst specifying an instance type works: juju bootstrap azure cdk2 --bootstrap-constraints="instance-type=Standard_D1_v2" but there are still issues as the instance type problem reappears frequently when trying to deploy services/bundles.
