Is it possible to add a "custom" size memory to an Azure virtual machine?

For example, I'm using the Medium size - 2 core, 4GB RAM, I would like to have 8GB RAM with the current settings I have... otherwise the next option available is A5 2 core with 14GB.

How do I increase my VM storage on Azure?

Under Disk name, select the disk you want to expand. In the left menu under Settings, select Size + performance. In Size + performance, select the disk size you want. The new size should be greater than the existing disk size.

Can you add more memory to a VM?

Click Edit virtual machine settings. If not already selected, click the Hardware tab. If not already highlighted, click Memory under the Device column. From the window displayed at the right, increase the amount of memory as required.

At https://portal.azure.com/ you can select the machine, then go to Size and pick another size for your virtual machine. It currently looks a bit like this:

If you scroll down see you a lot of different configurations, but you can't customize parameters of any of the given configurations.

Simple answer is you can't. You will need to pick up from one of the existing VM sizes.
