    Hi,

    If the error message says that, allocated vCPU quota is not sufficient in the region you are trying to deploy the resources, you can raise a request to increase the quota.

    You can check the quota in the region using the following PowerShell Script and to find it as below

    az vm list-usage --location "East US" -o table

    After verifying the available quota, if this is due to the non-availability of resources, you can request for an increase in the quota. Please follow the link to request this to Microsoft Support

    Request an increase for regional vCPU quotas

    While following the above procedure, if suppose, you are seeing that, the 'Microsoft Compute' resources are not registered as shown below, and to be registered to use the quota.

    You can register the resource from the below screen in your subscription: Select Microsoft.Compute and register it and to see that it's being registered. Now, you can see if there is sufficient quota available

    Hi Maina Kariuki,

    Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    If had a chance to look into the @Manu Philip 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 region.

    To resolve this issue, you have a few options:

    • Attempt to create your resources in a different region where you may have available quota.
    • Verify if you have any existing resources in the region that are consuming your vCPU quota.

    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.

    The step-by-step instructions for creating a support issue are provided here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/error-resource-quota#solution
