Daily executive summary

Compared with the 2026-08-14 snapshot, the 2026-08-15 scan recorded 118 new listings, 303 regressions, and 0 parked unknown transitions.

Where it changed: VM SKUs: 0 new listings, 303 regressions; AKS extensions: 59 new listings, 0 regressions; Azure AI models: 59 new listings, 0 regressions.

Representative changes: Basic A0 VM size was no longer listed in uksouth; Basic A1 VM size was no longer listed in uksouth; Basic A2 VM size was no longer listed in uksouth.

What changed: 233 first recorded disappearances, 70 recurring disappearances, 118 net-new regional listings.

What this means: Review the 303 regressions against existing regional targets and fallbacks first; treat the 118 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 (2026-08-09 to 2026-08-15): across 7 recorded scans, there were 2,400 new listings and 776 regressions. New listings led on 5 scans; regressions led on 2.

Archived commentary and representative evidence

Latest scan: 118 new availability signals and 303 regressions across 59 regions.

VM SKUs: VM sizes withdrawn (303 signals; 233 deprecation candidates, 70 recurring disappearances, up to 2 prior disappearances). SRE impact: capacity planning and SKU fallback lists should be rechecked. Coverage now ranges from 1 to 22 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 97.9% of prior observations. Examples: uksouth · basic.a0; uksouth · basic.a1; uksouth · basic.a2; uksouth · basic.a3; and 299 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 59 to 59 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 100.0% of prior observations. Expansion pattern: first observed anywhere in the monitored regions. Examples: australiacentral · newformtechnologies.finaistudio.trial; australiacentral2 · newformtechnologies.finaistudio.trial; australiaeast · newformtechnologies.finaistudio.trial; australiasoutheast · newformtechnologies.finaistudio.trial; and 55 more.

Azure AI models: newer models/versions rolling out (59 signals; 59 net-new regional availabilities). SRE impact: new regional model/version options for latency, residency, and model selection. Coverage now ranges from 28 to 31 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 100.0% of prior observations. Expansion pattern: first observed anywhere in the monitored regions. Examples: australiaeast · deepseek.deepseek-v4-flash-0731.2026-07-31; australiaeast · openai.gpt-chat-latest.2026-08-06; brazilsouth · deepseek.deepseek-v4-flash-0731.2026-07-31; brazilsouth · openai.gpt-chat-latest.2026-08-06; and 55 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.
