Pull request overview
This PR updates the default VM size/SKU used by Azure CLI compute create commands to move off the legacy Standard_DS1_v2 and align new resource creation with a newer generation default (Standard_D2s_v5). This is a customer-impacting (breaking) behavioral change for users who rely on defaults.
Changes:
- Update
az vm createdefault--sizefromStandard_DS1_v2toStandard_D2s_v5. - Update
az vmss createdefault--vm-skufromStandard_DS1_v2toStandard_D2s_v5(non-USGov). - Remove the existing
_breaking_change.pydefault-value warning registrations for these arguments.
