Is it possible to enable the spot option on an existing container instance? Is there some option that I could use in the yml file?

Moreover, I tried to create a new container instance from the. When I enabled the spot option I saw the following error: "1 vCPUs is needed to create a Spot container, but only 0 vCPUs remain in your subscription. Please change to a smaller size or request a quota increase to avoid deployment failure.". What's mean? What is need to do?

    Unfortunately you cannot add Spot option to existing container instances. You will need to recreate the container group to utilize the spot feature.

    It sounds like your limit doesn't allow you to utilize spot containers. You will need to request a quota increase for Standard Spot Cores. You can do this by going to Quotas and Azure Container Instances in the portal.
