Unable to use compute cluster in Azure ML

Question

I'm using Azure for students and I keep getting this error in compute cluster:

Provisioning error
The specified subscription has a total vCPU quota of 0 and cannot accomodate for at least 1 requested managed compute node which maps to 2 vCPUs. Talk to your Subscription Admin or refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/machine-learning/how-to-manage-quotas#request-quota-increases to increase the total quota

I have also checked that there is no other resource group using compute resources and the usage in quota page of VM is 0 cores used.

Can you please help me to fix this error?

Answer 1

I had this issue with DP-100 training and it seemed to be related to the region. If you try and manually create a compute cluster and adjust the location it will show availability for Standard_DS2_v2 for some of the locations and not others. If you can find a location that allows that type thenyou can edit the setup.sh file in the Cloud shell using 'code .' and then change the list of regions to the one you want. The setup.sh file should now work properly

Hello, @Lê Trịnh Thanh Thúy !

Where can I find my Machine Learning Compute vCPU quota?

You can find your Machine Learning Compute vCPU quota in the portal by searching for Quotas, then clicking on Machine Learning:

In the portal, search for Quotas, then click on Machine Learning:

Is it the same as my Virtual Machine vCPU quota?

No, these are separate quotas for separate services even though they use similar resource types with similar names. Under quotas, you'll see that Compute is also available. This is where you'll find your Virtual Machine vCPU quota which is separate from your Machine Learning quota.

Below you can see Compute/VM vCPU quotas are different than Machine Learning quotas:

How do I request an increase?

The link from the error will direct you to the documentation for increasing your Machine Learning quota:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-manage-quotas?view=azureml-api-2#request-quota-increases

You'll need to select "Machine Learning Service: Virtual Machine Quota" as the quota type you want to increase.

I hope this helps, @Lê Trịnh Thanh Thúy !
