I'm working through some guided labs studying for the AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals certification test.

The labs instructed me to:

  1. Create an ARM VM with Visual Studio (OK)
  2. Run SysPrep on the VM
  3. "Capture" the SysPrep'ed VM in order to create a template image

I'm stuck on Step 3:

  • The lab instructed us to create a B2ms image.

  • Azure "Capture" menus require a "Gallery".

  • But "Capture > Review + Create" fails:

        ERROR: Disallowed by policy
    Policy: Lockdown_AKS_VM_SKY_Standard_B2ms

Q: What's going on?

Q: How can I work around it?

    Is this using your own subscription, or a lab sub provided by MS? – Sam Cogan Feb 21 '21 at 18:39
  • Good question: the subscription, resource group, etc. are from the lab provider. That's one of the reasons I'm using the labs - so I don't risk running up $$$ charges on my own subscription. It's also why I chose size "B2ms" - because the lab told me to. And yes, I've tried asking the lab directly - no go, so far :( – paulsm4 Feb 21 '21 at 19:21
  • So this is really down to the lab provider, there is an Azure policy stopping what you are doing, but this is a custom policy created by the provider, not a built in one, so I can't tell you what it is blocking – Sam Cogan Feb 22 '21 at 18:50
  • Thank you - that helps. I assumed that "Lockdown_AKS_VM_SKY_Standard_B2ms" was a *Microsoft* policy, not a custom policy. – paulsm4 Feb 22 '21 at 21:07
