Cannot create compute instance with GPU in Azure Machine Learning

Question

I am using Azure Machine Learning to use GPUs.

I tried couple of regions - East US, UK South, etc. to create workspaces and then create compute instances with GPU, but no GPU is available. When trying to select GPU I get this warning with available cores as 0:

You do not have enough quota for the following VM sizes. Click here to view and request quota.

Does anyone know why is this happening?

Answer 1

Thanks for the question, The issue you’re encountering is related to Azure’s quota limits. Azure uses quotas and limits to prevent budget overruns due to fraud, and to honor Azure capacity constraints.

The quota is a credit limit on Azure resources, not a capacity guarantee. If you have large-scale capacity needs, you should contact Azure support to increase your quota.

Here are the steps to request a quota increase:

1. Go to the Azure portal and select “Help + support” from the left-hand menu.
2. When opening the support request, select Technical as the Issue type.
3. Select the subscription of your choice.
4. Select Machine Learning as the Service.
5. Select the resource of your choice.
6. In the summary, mention "Increase total compute limits".
7. Select Compute Cluster as the Problem type and Cluster does not scale up or is stuck in resizing as the Problem subtype.
