Daily executive summary

Compared with the 2026-07-10 snapshot, the 2026-07-11 scan recorded 357 new listings, 316 regressions, and 39,831 parked unknown transitions.

Where it changed: VM SKUs: 333 new listings, 294 regressions; Azure AI models: 24 new listings, 0 regressions; AKS extensions: 0 new listings, 22 regressions.

Representative changes: microsoft.azstackhci.operator AKS extension was no longer listed in 9 regions; microsoft.retinaoss AKS extension was no longer listed in 3 regions; microsoft.ao5gc AKS extension was no longer listed in 4 regions.

What changed: 154 first recorded disappearances, 162 recurring disappearances, 357 net-new regional listings.

What this means: Review the 316 regressions against existing regional targets and fallbacks first; treat the 357 new listings as options to validate. These are read-only catalog/list signals, not quota, capacity, or deployment results. Zero new delistings does not establish recovery of earlier missing listings.

7-day context (2026-07-05 to 2026-07-11): across 7 recorded scans, there were 2,301 new listings and 516 regressions. New listings led on 6 scans; regressions led on 1.

Archived commentary and representative evidence

Latest scan: 357 new availability signals and 316 regressions across 32 regions.

AKS extensions: extension types stopped listing (22 signals; 22 deprecation candidates). SRE impact: extension install plans and regional cluster templates may need adjustment. Coverage now ranges from 0 to 0 of 64 monitored regions. Examples: australiaeast · microsoft.azstackhci.operator; canadacentral · microsoft.azstackhci.operator; centralindia · microsoft.azstackhci.operator; centralus · microsoft.retinaoss; and 18 more.

VM SKUs: VM sizes withdrawn (294 signals; 132 deprecation candidates, 162 recurring disappearances, up to 2 prior disappearances). SRE impact: capacity planning and SKU fallback lists should be rechecked. Coverage now ranges from 11 to 18 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 96.7% of prior observations. Examples: francecentral · dc16ads.cc.v5; francecentral · dc16ads.v5; francecentral · dc16as.cc.v5; francecentral · dc16as.v5; and 290 more.

Azure AI models: newer models/versions rolling out (24 signals; 24 net-new regional availabilities). SRE impact: new regional model/version options for latency, residency, and model selection. Coverage now ranges from 29 to 29 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 100.0% of prior observations. Expansion pattern: first observed in Africa; first observed in Asia; first observed in Middle East; first observed in Oceania; first observed in South America; regional expansion of an existing signal. Examples: australiaeast · openai.gpt-5-4-pro.2026-03-05; brazilsouth · openai.gpt-5-4-pro.2026-03-05; canadacentral · openai.gpt-5-4-pro.2026-03-05; canadaeast · openai.gpt-5-4-pro.2026-03-05; and 20 more.

VM SKUs: VM sizes now offered (333 signals; 333 net-new regional availabilities). SRE impact: more compute shapes for right-sizing, performance, and cost tuning. Coverage now ranges from 1 to 53 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 100.0% of prior observations. Expansion pattern: regional expansion of an existing signal. Examples: chilecentral · l12aos.v4; chilecentral · l16aos.v4; chilecentral · l16as.v4; chilecentral · l24aos.v4; and 329 more.

Two short answers; GitHub will open a draft for your review. No Forms, token, or automatic submission.

This repository is public. Review the text and image for private details. Opening the draft sends text/context to GitHub in its URL. Pasting or attaching an image uploads it to GitHub immediately.

Describe the desired outcome in plain text. This becomes the issue's ### Objective. After reviewing the issue, a maintainer can add azure-backlog to queue it for a scheduled agent; the website does not add that label or start a run.
