UAE North, West US

Example: Standard D1 VM size. Listing coverage: 39 → 40 regions.

Documented family

Standard_D1 - General purpose VM size

Standard_D1 is a general purpose VM size decoded from Azure's naming convention.

The name encodes 1 vCPUs.

Naming-convention decoding does not verify memory, CPU model, GPU model, disk throughput, network bandwidth, quota, capacity, price, successful deployment, or measured performance.

Catalog/list evidence only; verify exact requirements before changing regional plans.

New delistings

4 feature-region records

Central US EUAP

Example: Standard Nv16as V4 VM size. Listing coverage: 12 → 11 regions.

Documented family

Standard_NV16as_v4 - GPU visualization optimized VM size

Standard_NV16as_v4 is a gpu visualization optimized VM size decoded from Azure's naming convention.

The name encodes 16 vCPUs.
a = AMD-based in the documented naming convention.

Naming-convention decoding does not verify memory, CPU model, GPU model, disk throughput, network bandwidth, quota, capacity, price, successful deployment, or measured performance.

If this matches a planned regional target, verify it with the provider. This is not an outage or retirement notice.

Example: grok 4 7 model from xAI (version 1). Listing coverage: 0 → 31 regions.

First observed in retained monitoring history; not a confirmed product launch.

Category context

grok 4 7 (catalog version 1) - xai

A model identifier observed by this modality; exact capabilities are not verified.

Catalog presence identifies a provider/model/version candidate, not its tested abilities.
Context limits, input/output modalities, licensing, and tool support need exact-model review.

No exact model capability or version is verified. The source provides category context only. Regional model-catalog evidence does not establish quota, account approval, deployment type, inference access, content filtering, performance, or data residency.

Catalog/list evidence only; verify exact requirements before changing regional plans.
