Azure ML quickstart.ipynb sample won't run in free tier

Question

I'm unable to get the Azure ML sample code to run under an Azure Free Trial subscription. Specifically, the quickstart.ipynb contains this code:

blue_deployment = ManagedOnlineDeployment(
name="blue",
endpoint_name={online_endpoint_name},
model=model,
instance_type="Standard_DS2_v2",
instance_count=1,
) blue_deployment = ml_client.begin_create_or_update(blue_deployment).result()

which for me (without any vCPUs currently running), gives this error:

error detail: {"errors":{"VmSize":["Not enough quota available for Standard_DS2_v2 in SubscriptionId {subscriptionID}. Current usage/limit: 4/6. Additional needed: 4

The Free Tier has a limit of 4 vCPUs (not waiverable), so trying a larger size is not possible. Trying other instance types doesn't work: I tried Standard_DS1_v2, which gives the error: Container terminated due to insufficient memory, as well as, Standard_DS3_v2 which gives an error "not enough quota available in subscription..."

Hi @Harry Newton

It seems that you are encountering quota limitations with your Azure Free Trial subscription when trying to run the Azure ML sample code. The error messages indicate that you have reached the limit for the specified instance type or that there is insufficient memory available.

Since the Free Trial subscription has specific resource quotas and limitations, you may encounter restrictions on the number of vCPUs or other resources that you can use. These limitations are in place to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage across the Azure platform.

If you find this answer useful, kindly accept answer, for any other help comment here.

Hello @Harry Newton !

In case you have oher VMs running you have to delete them

The quota limit is standard so either delete other VMs or try a Quota Increase

You have to select the VM Size for the selection to activate :
