I would like create quota increase request through cli is it possible.

Question

Hi,
I would like to increase quotas through Python sdk or through cli is it possible? I am using the below code to list the resources and their limit. I checked the page for api but there is not much information.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-mgmt-compute/azure.mgmt.compute.v2023_07_01.operations.usageoperations?view=azure-python

from azure.mgmt.compute import ComputeManagementClient
from azure.mgmt.network import NetworkManagementClient
y = a.compute_client.usage.list(location)
for i in y:
    if i.name.value == 'standardDSv2Family':
        i.limit=20
        print(i.name.value,i.limit,i.current_value)
a.compute_client.usage.create(location, y)

Yes, it is possible to create a quota request through the CLI and Azure Python SDK.

For Azure CLI you can use the az quota command which is an extension that gets installed when you run the command.

az quota create --resource-name standardFSv2Family --scope /subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/providers/Microsoft.Compute/locations/eastus --limit-object value=10 --resource-type dedicated

For Azure Python SDK you can use azure-mgmt-quota This is some sample code that you might find useful:

import os

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.quota import AzureQuotaExtensionAPI
from azure.mgmt.resource import ResourceManagementClient


def main():
    subscription = os.getenv('AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID')
    quota_client = AzureQuotaExtensionAPI(DefaultAzureCredential(), subscription)
    resource_client = ResourceManagementClient(DefaultAzureCredential(), subscription)

    GROUP_NAME = 'zbw_test'

    # Create resource group
    resource_client.resource_groups.create_or_update(
        GROUP_NAME,
        {"location": "eastus"}
    )

    result = quota_client.quota.begin_create_or_update(
        resource_name=GROUP_NAME,
        scope='/subscriptions/' + subscription + 'providers/Microsoft.Compute/location/eastus',
        create_quota_request={
            "properties": {
                "limit": {
                    "limit_object_type": "1000"
                },
                "resourceType": "dedicated"
            }
        }
    ).result()
    print(result)

    # delete resource group
    resource_client.resource_groups.begin_delete(GROUP_NAME).result()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have an questions.
