Can I use HDInsight to create a Spark cluster with a Student subscription?

That's my question. I have tried googling but couldn't find clues in the Microsoft documentation. I have my $100 unused, but when I go to HDInsight and try to select the machines type, I cannot select any of them. I always get 0 cores available in every region. I have already enabled Microsoft.Compute as well as Microsoft.HDInsight in my subscription's Resource providers. Should I enable any others?

If it is just not possible at all with a Student subscription, should not it complain from the very beginning (first tab of the process), when I select the subscription for the project in "Project details"?

Unfortunately, you cannot create the Azure HDInsight cluster with the Student subscription.

Reason: With an Azure Student subscription, you will initially be able to access only Azure services that are available with a free tier of service use.

For more limitations, refer to the below links:

You may want to look at a pay-as-you-go subscription as this should allow you to deploy a cluster, however, may not allow you to utilize the benefits of a student subscription.
