Hi David George,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.
In addition to @Andreas Baumgarten suggestion and additionally try the below steps.
Azure enforces default quota limits on resources like vCPUs for each subscription and region. This is to prevent accidental over-provisioning and to manage capacity. In your case, the error indicates that you've reached the vCPU quota limit for the EASTUS region.
To resolve this issue, you have a few options:
- Attempt to create your AKS cluster in a two more different region where you may have available quota.
- If possible, configure your AKS cluster to use smaller node sizes that require fewer vCPUs.
- Verify if you have any existing resources in the EASTUS region that are consuming your vCPU quota.
- Open a support ticket with Azure to request an increase in your vCPU quota for the EASTUS region.
For complete quota information, see Azure subscription and service limits, quotas, and constraints.
To request a quota increase, go to the portal and file a support issue. In the support issue, request an increase in your quota for the region.
