Region access

Question

How to request access SQL managed Instance region access.

Answer 1

Hi Dezhen Zheng,

Greetings!!

To create a SQL Managed Instance in a region that is currently not supported,

you can send a support request via the Azure portal.

1. Go to the New support request page in the Azure portal by following the steps to Open a support request.
2. On the Problem description tab of the New support request page, choose Service and subscription limits (quotas) for the Issue type, and your subscription from the drop-down. For Quota type, type in sql and choose the appropriate product:
   • SQL Database for single database and elastic pool quotas.
   • SQL Database Managed Instance for managed instances.
   
3. Select Next: Solutions >> to go to the Additional details tab.
4. On the Additional details tab, under Problem details, select Enter details to enter additional information.

Selecting Enter details displays the Quota details window that allows you to add additional information. The following sections describe the different options for SQL Database and SQL Managed Instance quota types.

Enable subscription access to a region

Use Region access to request creating a resource in a selected region since some subscriptions have limits to where they can create resources. You might see an error such as:

Your subscription does not have access to create a server in the selected region.

Consumption is calculated in vCores, regardless of your purchasing model, so if you're using the DTU-based purchasing model, use the following formula to convert your expected DTU consumption to vCores:

1 vCore ~ 100-125 DTU.

To request region access, follow these steps:

1. Select the Region access quota type on the Quota details window.
2. Use the Location dropdown to select the Azure region where you want access. The quota is per subscription in each region.
3. Enter the Expected Consumption in vCores. Then select Save and continue to save your changes and navigate back to the New support request page.
