    Dear Customer, Workspot has identified an issue affecting the availability of Virtual Desktops hosted in the Azure East US region. Microsoft has confirmed ongoing Azure Compute capacity constraints in this region. Customers attempting to create, update, resume, scale, start, or restart Virtual Machines may experience allocation failures. Current Impact: - VM lifecycle operations may intermittently fail - Running desktops are not impacted unless restarted or redeployed How to Check if You Are Impacted: If your subscription is affected, details will be visible under: -->Azure Portal → Service Health → Active / Maintenance Events Workaround: - Redeploy the Virtual Machine from Workspot Control to help bring it online Recommendations: - Try a different Availability Zone within East US - Use an alternate Azure region with lower demand Mitigation Options: - Disable Pause/Resume (VM runs continuously; may increase cost) - On-demand Capacity Reservation: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/capacity-reservation-overview - Reserved Instances (cost benefit + prioritized capacity): https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/cost-management-billing/reservations/save-compute-costs-reservations
