Australia East - Standard_NV4as_v4 retired - suggested to migrate to NVads_V710_v5 but not available in region with no other gpu optoins?
As per the title. Standard_NV4as_v4 is being retired September this year and we've been advised to migrate across to NVads_V710_v5, however, doesn't show up in our sizing list in Australia East. Do we just simply have to move regions?
