Error:
Preflight validation check for resource(s) for container service aksdemo1 in resource group rg_aks failed. Message: Insufficient regional vcpu quota left for location centralindia. left regional vcpu quota 0, requested quota 824710709160. Details: (Code: ErrCode_InsufficientVCPUQuota)
Hi Manjunatha Reddy,
Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.
The error says, "insufficient regional vCPU quota in the Central India region for your subscription". Since you're on a free subscription, there are usually strict limits for vCPU usage in specific regions, and Central India may have very limited capacity. To continue working with AKS, you may need to either:
If you're still within the free tier, make sure to request a quota increase that aligns with the free tier limits or consider upgrading to avoid limitations.

Hi Manjunatha Reddy,
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.
I understand that you are encountering a quota issue when trying to create an AKS cluster. The error message indicates there are no available vCPUs left in central India region.
Navigate to Azure console and check the quota for vCPUs in the Central India region. This will give you a clear idea of your current limits.
Configure your AKS cluster to use smaller node sizes that require fewer vCPUs. This can help you stay within the quota limits.
Check the existing resources in the region that are consuming your vCPU quota. If possible, you can deallocate or delete some of these resources to free up quota.
If you are not tied to a specific location, you can try to cluster AKS in another region with an available vCPU quota.
If you want more resources to use then go to pay-as-you-go subscription, because in free trail have some limitations.
Please review the following for additional reference: Increase regional vCPU quotas - Azure Quotas | Microsoft Learn
