I am currently using the free tier of Azure as I am going through the learning paths on the Microsoft website. To complete these labs I need to use the "Virtual machine: Standard_DS3_v2" however this plan I believe does not allow me to use 6 cores. under this subscription it says i have used 0 cores but have 20 available. Please help. image

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    1. Azure ML enforces a quota limit per VM family/region (in this case, 0/4 means you have 0 currently allocated out of 4 available).
    2. Redundancy overhead: Azure may reserve extra capacity (~20%) for reliability, leading to an effective request of 8 instead of 3.

    Request a Quota Increase

    You need to increase your vCPU quota for Standard_Dv4 Family in the East US 2 region:

    Go to: Azure Quotas Page

    Select:

    1. Subscription: Azure subscription 1
    2. Region: East US 2
    3. SKU Family: Standard_Dv4 Family
    4. Click Request quota increase
    5. Request enough for the required vCPUs (e.g., request at least 8)

    Approval typically takes a few hours over 3 business days.
