Has anyone been able to successfully deploy agents in the South Central region with the Standard DS1 v2 SKU? We're running into various deployment issues and want to see if it's a widespread problem.

We're experiencing VMSS scale-up failures. The activity log indicates that a VM extension is failing to install. The errors point to timeouts with various VM extensions, which is definitely concerning. I've looked into some troubleshooting resources, but it seems like these issues might be on Azure's end. Check their status page for real-time updates.
Yep, our hosted build agents have just disappeared. It's becoming a hassle trying to figure out what's going on.
Are you getting provisioning timeouts like we are?
We're facing problems too with Azure Hosted Agents. It's been frustrating trying to get them up and running like normal.
Are you specifically having trouble in South Central?
Just saw that Azure has acknowledged the issue with VMs and dependent services in multiple regions. They're working on a fix—let’s hope it comes soon! Here's their status update link: https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status
Seems like it's not just South Central. I’ve been stuck for about an hour trying to acquire agents in North Europe too. I checked the Azure DevOps status page and it looks like there are issues across all regions.
My DevOps pipelines are down, and I'm not keen on a manual deployment right now; the stress is real! Looks like Azure is reporting outages affecting pipeline agents everywhere. Keep an eye on their status page for updates.

We're having similar timeout issues for our Managed DevOps pool. It's definitely not just you!
