Daily executive summary

Compared with the 2026-08-22 snapshot, the 2026-08-23 scan recorded 128 new listings, 0 regressions, and 0 parked unknown transitions.

Where it changed: VM SKUs: 128 new listings, 0 regressions.

Representative changes: Standard D128nds V6 VM size was newly listed in francecentral; Standard D128nlds V6 VM size was newly listed in francecentral; Standard D128nls V6 VM size was newly listed in francecentral.

What changed: 128 net-new regional listings.

What this means: The 128 new listings expand the set of regional 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 (2026-08-17 to 2026-08-23): across 7 recorded scans, there were 1,132 new listings and 265 regressions. New listings led on 6 scans; regressions led on 1.

Archived commentary and representative evidence

Latest scan: 128 new availability signals and 0 regressions across 2 regions.

VM SKUs: VM sizes now offered (128 signals; 128 net-new regional availabilities). SRE impact: more compute shapes for right-sizing, performance, and cost tuning. Coverage now ranges from 23 to 53 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 100.0% of prior observations. Expansion pattern: first observed in this geography; regional expansion of an existing signal. Examples: francecentral · Azure virtual-machine size for right-sizing compute (d128nds.v6); francecentral · Azure virtual-machine size for right-sizing compute (d128nlds.v6); francecentral · Azure virtual-machine size for right-sizing compute (d128nls.v6); francecentral · Azure virtual-machine size for right-sizing compute (d128ns.v6); and 124 more.

What this means for Azure users: review placement and fallback plans using these catalog/list signals before changing production deployments.

Help make this page clearer

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.
