Describe the bug

This GitHub issue is being moved from azure-docs-cli 4474.

Here is a customer screen print of the reference command parameters and error:

Type of issue
Code doesn't work

Feedback
When using this example code (with changed values for Image and ResourceGroup)

"az vmss create -n MyVmss -g MyResourceGroup --location NorthEurope --instance-count 2 --image CentOS85Gen2 --priority Spot --eviction-policy Deallocate --single-placement-group --enable-spot-restore True --spot-restore-timeout PT1H"

I get the Error "DeploymentFailed" and the details:

"code":"InvalidParameter","target":"spotRestorePolicy","message":"The value of parameter spotRestorePolicy is invalid."

(On Cloud-Shell with az --version = 2.62.0)

I also tried to set "--single-placement-group false --enable-spot-restore false" - this then worked and a vmss was deployed.

(I also tried " --single-placement-group false --enable-spot-restore true" yielding the same invalid parameter response.)

@yonzhan and @zhoxing-ms I'm also seeing this issue with relation to the azurerm terraform module when trying to enable spot instances for scalesets on usGovCloud. Azure is returning a 400 error with the exact same error message. I'm unfortunately unable to provide direct logs from the environment.
