No b2ats_v2 and b2pts_v2 quota for Azure Student Subscription

Question

No b2ats_v2 and b2pts_v2 quota for Azure Student Subscription

Nishant Majumdar 0

I am unable to increase the quota for b2ats_v2 and b2pts_v2.
I am on student subscription (100USD).
I tried requesting it but it failed. I tried creating support request within Portal, but that failed too.
Please provide a solution as these VMs seem to be the only way to use these VMs, as I am running a resource intensive VM, and have a low budget requirement.

Please provide a solution that will help me to use this VM, or any other solution, as i need 2vCPU and 1GB ram at the cost which is inscribed as b2ats_v2

Hello Nishant Majumdar
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

Based on the description, you are having trouble increasing the quota for b2ats_v2 and b2pts_v2 on your Azure Student Subscription.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to increase the quota for these VM sizes on a student subscription. The student subscription has a limited quota for certain resources, including vCPUs and memory.

However, there are other VM sizes available that you can use within your quota. You can check the available VM sizes by running the az vm list-skus command in Azure CLI.

Ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/vm?view=azure-cli-latest#az-vm-list-skus

You can choose a VM size that fits within your quota and meets your requirements.

If you need more resources than what is available in your student subscription, you can consider upgrading to a pay-as-you-go subscription or purchasing Azure credits. This will give you access to more resources and higher quotas.

I hope this helps!

Thank you for your swift response.
As you can see on this website: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/students, this subscription offers B2ats_v2. (750 hrs) So after signing up, one should be able to use these services as advertised on the site. If this is not allowed to be used, doesn't this count as false advertising?
Please let me know a solution to this issue!

Hello Nishant Majumdar

Thanks for responding back.

Can you please let me know if you were able to check the VM sizes available within your quota on your subscription?
Also, what region are you trying as you mentioned it is failing?

You are correct that the Azure for Students Starter program offers access to the B2ats_v2 VM size for 750 hours per month. There could be shortage of Azure SKUs in certain regions due to high demand, it is important to note that Microsoft is constantly working to increase capacity and availability in all regions.

You can check with azure support on the availability of the SKU in a region which you are looking for.

If you need any help reaching to support team (filing a support case) let me know for assisting you further on this.
