Hi,

We are developing a product demo leveraging local language models for a potential client. I'd like to use a VM that has a GPU, but my request was denied. Is there any way I can get some assistance getting a GPU for a VM using my startup hub credits? It would be a great help for this demo and helping us sell this particular client on a custom AI solution we've developed. Below are some ID's of the support ticket and correspondence with Azure support.

We have engaged our internal team about your request and received below update.

 

Requested SKU/Series Status
Requested SKU/Series Status
Resource Manager, WESTUS2, NCads H100 v5 Series / 1 You recently contacted us requesting access to the NCads H100 v5 Seriesseries virtual machines through your free/benefit/sponsorship subscription. Unfortunately, we are unable to approve this request. Due to high demand for these graphics-enabled VM types, availability is limited for customers using free/benefit subscriptions. Please consider alternative VM Types that may be suitable for your requirements, or consider creating a new pay-as-you-go subscription to explore expanded access through a separate paid subscription.
Resource Manager, WESTUS2, NCasT4v3 Series / 1 You recently contacted us requesting access to the NCasT4v3 Seriesseries virtual machines through your free/benefit/sponsorship subscription. Unfortunately, we are unable to approve this request. Due to high demand for these graphics-enabled VM types, availability is limited for customers using free/benefit subscriptions. Please consider alternative VM Types that may be suitable for your requirements, or consider creating a new pay-as-you-go subscription to explore expanded access through a separate paid subscription.
Resource Manager, WESTUS2, NV Series / 1 For the foreseeable future, we are not approving quota requests for these Azure virtual machines: NV Series These VMs do not run our latest generation infrastructure and we are directing customers who request additional quota for these v1 VMs to consider creating a new pay-as-you-go subscription to explore expanded access to newer generation VM Series in the US West 2 (WUS2) region. See here for suggested alternative virtual machines. Please note that requests for newer generation SKUs have to be reviewed against capacity availability and are not guaranteed to be approved.

Thanks.
