Error Message : Code=InvalidTemplateDeployment; Message=The template deployment failed with error: 'The resource with id: '/subscriptions/----------------------/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/ARM_VM-001'

failed validation with message: 'The requested size for resource '/subscriptions/--------------/resourceGroups/AzureResourceGroup1-2/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/ARM_VM-001' is currently not available in location 'westus' zones '' for subscription '-----------'.

Since not all SKU are available in all regions in Azure, you can use CLI to figure out whether the SKU you are looking for is available or not.

az vm list-skus --location <region> --query "[].{name:name}" -o table

You can use the above Azure CLI command to determine if the VM Size you are looking for is available in the given region (westus in your case).

you can provide the Size also and get a more narrowed down result as well

az vm list-skus --location <region> --size Standard_ --query "[].{name:name}" -o table

the above will provide all the Standard sizes avaliable in

if you want to find if a specific size is available in a specific region, try the below command

az vm list-skus --location southcentralus --size Standard_DS14-8_v2 --output table

This link > [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/vm?view=azure-cli-latest] has list of CLI commands you can execute for operations relating to VMs

Hope this helps.
