As I marked, I have the same error/question with germanywestcentral and eastus regions. I tried to check my quotas with Azure CLI as suggested by Copilot:
az vm list-usage --location germanywestcentral --output table
It did not provide any answer (only an empty line).
I tried to check my quotas in Azure Portal as well and in the Compute type there is none, but in the Compute (classic) type search there are two 1) Cloud Services (classic) - usage 0 of 20, 2) Cores (Classic) - usage 0 of 8, both with a note: "troubleshoot": Azure [subscription name] is not eligible for quota adjustment. Consider upgrading your subscription.

I do not want to upgrade my subscription, I am in free (testing) phase and I would like to use my "credits".
I followed the tutorial that's how I got here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/cloud-native-apps-orchestrate-containers/3-exercise-create-aks-instance

I cannot step any further in my learning process (and this is just the 2nd step from 10 in the list of tutorials I wished to complete.)
Could you please help us!

I checked another 5 regions without success.

I have found this topic: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/2117638/when-we-try-to-create-aks-in-azure-we-get-the-foll

I will file a quota increase demand as suggested, but on other pages I read that for free tiers it does not work. I try and hopefully I will get some solution...

update: ... read through several tickets and solutions, and could not file a quote support, using free account (with offered free credits, though).

Hi Pinakster,

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

The error that you are experiencing is that you do not have enough vCPU quota in the "australiaeast" region to deploy a container service within your resource group.

Quotas are enforced at various levels, such as resource groups, subscriptions, and accounts. For instance, your subscription might have a limit on the number of cores available in a specific region. If you try to deploy a resource with more cores than allowed, you'll receive an error stating that the quota has been exceeded.

For full details on quotas, refer to: see Azure subscription and service limits, quotas, and constraints.

How to Request a Quota Increase:

1.Go to the Azure Portal and navigate to Subscriptions, then go to Usage + quotas. 2.Check for resource limits like vCPUs under Kubernetes Service in your selected region.

Refer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/error-resource-quota#solution

If you are trying to write to me, I am not Pinakster.
I found other way to solve my issue, so I am sorry to say but your suggestion did not help me.
Basically moving from free trial to pay-as-you-go was the solution. Sadly, in free trial this tutorial cannot be done due to vCPU/quota issues... in spite free quota is siggested in the MS Learn tutorial.
Thank you by the way for your kind help.
