Daily executive summary

Compared with the 2026-08-03 snapshot, the 2026-08-04 scan recorded 625 new listings, 66 regressions, and 801 parked unknown transitions.

Where it changed: VM SKUs: 566 new listings, 66 regressions; AKS extensions: 59 new listings, 0 regressions.

Representative changes: Standard Dc16ads Cc V5 VM size was no longer listed in uksouth; Standard Dc16ads V5 VM size was no longer listed in uksouth; Standard Dc16as Cc V5 VM size was no longer listed in uksouth.

What changed: 66 first recorded disappearances, 59 net-new regional listings, 566 restored regional listings.

What this means: Review the 66 regressions against existing regional targets and fallbacks first; treat the 625 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 (2026-07-29 to 2026-08-04): across 6 recorded scans, there were 1,499 new listings and 480 regressions. New listings led on 3 scans; regressions led on 1.

Archived commentary and representative evidence

Latest scan: 625 new availability signals and 66 regressions across 58 regions.

VM SKUs: VM sizes withdrawn (66 signals; 66 deprecation candidates). SRE impact: capacity planning and SKU fallback lists should be rechecked. Coverage now ranges from 12 to 19 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 96.4% of prior observations. Examples: uksouth · dc16ads.cc.v5; uksouth · dc16ads.v5; uksouth · dc16as.cc.v5; uksouth · dc16as.v5; and 62 more.

AKS extensions: extension types now listed (59 signals; 59 net-new regional availabilities). SRE impact: new managed cluster capabilities such as GitOps, policy, or observability. Coverage now ranges from 58 to 58 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 100.0% of prior observations. Expansion pattern: first observed anywhere in the monitored regions; regional expansion of an existing signal. Examples: australiacentral · highbyte.intelligencehubcontainer; australiacentral2 · highbyte.intelligencehubcontainer; australiaeast · highbyte.intelligencehubcontainer; australiasoutheast · highbyte.intelligencehubcontainer; and 55 more.

VM SKUs: VM sizes now offered (566 signals; 566 restored availabilities, up to 2 prior disappearances). SRE impact: more compute shapes for right-sizing, performance, and cost tuning. Coverage now ranges from 1 to 26 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 98.8% of prior observations. Expansion pattern: restored regional signal. Examples: centralus · dc16ads.cc.v5; centralus · dc16ads.v5; centralus · dc16as.cc.v5; centralus · dc16as.v5; and 562 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.
