Daily executive summary

Compared with the 2026-08-23 snapshot, the 2026-08-25 scan recorded 385 new listings, 0 regressions, and 0 parked unknown transitions.

Where it changed: VM SKUs: 306 new listings, 0 regressions; AKS extensions: 59 new listings, 0 regressions; Azure AI models: 20 new listings, 0 regressions.

Representative changes: haevek.falconconagra AKS extension was newly listed in 59 regions; Standard D128nls V6 VM size was newly listed in 6 regions; Standard D128ns V6 VM size was newly listed in 6 regions.

What changed: 370 net-new regional listings, 15 restored regional listings.

What this means: The 385 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 (2026-08-19 to 2026-08-25): across 6 recorded scans, there were 959 new listings and 9 regressions. New listings led on all 6 recorded scans.

Archived commentary and representative evidence

Latest scan: 385 new availability signals and 0 regressions across 59 regions.

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 · AKS cluster extension type for managed cluster capabilities (haevek.falconconagra); australiacentral2 · AKS cluster extension type for managed cluster capabilities (haevek.falconconagra); australiaeast · AKS cluster extension type for managed cluster capabilities (haevek.falconconagra); australiasoutheast · AKS cluster extension type for managed cluster capabilities (haevek.falconconagra); and 55 more.

Azure AI models: newer models/versions rolling out (20 signals; 5 net-new regional availabilities, 15 restored availabilities, up to 1 prior disappearance). SRE impact: new regional model/version options for latency, residency, and model selection. Coverage now ranges from 3 to 34 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 100.0% of prior observations. Expansion pattern: regional expansion of an existing signal; restored regional signal. Examples: canadacentral · Azure AI model/version catalog entry for model selection (openai.model-router.2025-05-19); canadacentral · Azure AI model/version catalog entry for model selection (openai.model-router.2025-08-07); canadacentral · Azure AI model/version catalog entry for model selection (openai.model-router.2025-11-18); jioindiacentral · Azure AI model/version catalog entry for model selection (openai.gpt-4-1-mini.2025-04-14); and 16 more.

VM SKUs: VM sizes now offered (306 signals; 306 net-new regional availabilities). SRE impact: more compute shapes for right-sizing, performance, and cost tuning. Coverage now ranges from 28 to 31 of 64 monitored regions. The noisiest affected signal was unavailable 100.0% of prior observations. Expansion pattern: regional expansion of an existing signal. Examples: australiacentral · Azure virtual-machine size for right-sizing compute (d128nls.v6); australiacentral · Azure virtual-machine size for right-sizing compute (d128ns.v6); australiacentral · Azure virtual-machine size for right-sizing compute (d16nls.v6); australiacentral · Azure virtual-machine size for right-sizing compute (d16ns.v6); and 302 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.
