 ## Solution 1 - PowerShell
 
 To determine which SKUs are available in a region, use the [Get-AzureRmComputeResourceSku](/powershell/module/azurerm.compute/get-azurermcomputeresourcesku) command. Filter the results by location. You must have the latest version of PowerShell for this command.
 
-```powershell
-Get-AzureRmComputeResourceSku | where {$_.Locations -icontains "southcentralus"}
+```azurepowershell-interactive
+Get-AzureRmComputeResourceSku | where {$_.Locations -icontains "centralus"}

 ## Solution 2 - Azure CLI
 
-To determine which SKUs are available in a region, use the `az vm list-skus` command. You can then use `grep` or a similar utility to filter the output.
-
-```bash
-$ az vm list-skus --output table
-ResourceType      Locations           Name                    Capabilities                       Tier      Size           Restrictions

-availabilitySets  eastus2             Aligned                 MaximumPlatformFaultDomainCount=3
-availabilitySets  westus              Classic                 MaximumPlatformFaultDomainCount=3
-availabilitySets  westus              Aligned                 MaximumPlatformFaultDomainCount=3

+To determine which SKUs are available in a region, use the `az vm list-skus` command. Use the `--location` parameter to filter output to location you are using. Use the `--size` parameter to search by a partial size name.
+
+```azurecli-interactive
+az vm list-skus --location southcentralus --size Standard_F --output table
+```
+
+The command returns results like:
+
+```azurecli
+ResourceType     Locations       Name              Zones    Capabilities    Restrictions
+---------------  --------------  ----------------  -------  --------------  --------------
+virtualMachines  southcentralus  Standard_F1                ...             None
+virtualMachines  southcentralus  Standard_F2                ...             None
+virtualMachines  southcentralus  Standard_F4                ...             None
