Azure supported VM sizes

Some Azure VM sizes become unavailable in some regions - case in point, after upgrading to 16 GB RAM for a day, I could not go back to the B-series 8 GB RAM VM in that Central India location (which had shown quota limited before I stopped it). Went back to a slightly more expensive D2asv4.

Edit - I had noted on 7th Jan that the size was Standard B2as v2 - vCPUs = 2, RAM = 8 GiB - and this was "insufficient quota" in Central India at the moment. It is Rs. 2998 per month. 

We then temporarily changed to D4as_v4 for a few hours, which is 7.5k per month. Stop the VM, change the size and then start the VM. And after the work was done, B2as v2 was not available, so we went to D2asv4 which is Rs. 3,778 per month.
