VM CPU limitation

Question

I have created 2 VMs with 1 vCPU. When trying to create the 3 VM it indicates that I have fully utilized all CPU.

Answer 1

Hi @Radhesh Jilla ,

Thanks for contacting the Microsoft Q&A platform.

Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Check CPU allocation: Confirm that you have enough physical CPU cores available on your host machine to allocate to the third VM. If the host machine doesn't have enough physical CPU resources, you won't be able to create additional VMs.
2. Review VM Resource Allocation: Ensure that you’re existing VMs are not allocated more CPU resources than they need. You can adjust the number of vCPUs assigned to each VM based on their workload requirements. If the existing VMs are overallocated, you might be able to reduce their vCPU count to free up resources for the new VM.

You can check your quota usage using the command below. 

az vm list-usage --location "Your region" -o table

If a quota increase is required to either purchase a Single Subscription RI, you can request a quota increase on your subscription.

Hope this helps you.
