My subscription VCPU limit is showing 10, I dont know, why it is less? and I dont know the plan name which is coming with default 10 VCPU. Please clarify. If I want to get the subscription with 200 VCPU as quota limit by default, how I can get it?

But why is there a limit? Why make us jump through hoops to increase the number?
If I want to make 50 dual core machines that I am paying for just let me.

AWS has the concept of "activating" a region. Until a region is activated by someone with AWS admin priviliges, you cannot use it to create resources. Azure doesn't have any such concept, so instead they set the limit in each region to 10 ECU's (i.e., trivial) and then someone with admin privileges pseudo-activates a region by granting it more ECU's. In other words, it's a workaround to replicate AWS functionality (needing to activate zones) without actually having that functionality in the back end.
Hi @Chandru Natarajan ,
Some limits are managed at a regional level, to request a quota increase with support for vCPUs, you must decide how many vCPUs you want to use in which regions. You then make a specific request for Azure resource group vCPU quotas for the amounts and regions that you want.
If you for example need to use 30 vCPUs in West Europe to run your application there, you specifically request 30 vCPUs in West Europe. Your vCPU quota isn't increased in any other region--only West Europe has the 30-vCPU quota.
