When signing up for the free tier on azure it seems it’s not possible to create a kubernetes cluster, the response I see is:

Preflight validation check for resource(s) for container service AKS in resource group AKS_group failed. Message: Preflight validation check for resource(s) for container service AKS in resource group MC_AKS_group_AKS_eastus failed.

I’ve tried selecting different regions but this didn’t resolve it.

Can anyone shed any light on this?
