Question

Getting a provisioning error even though I have quota and I am requesting for dedicated tier compute cluster.

Answer 1

Hello @Abhijay Jayaswal

Region/SKU capacity If you're targeting a higher-demand SKU (GPU families especially), regional capacity can simply be exhausted at the moment you try to provision, independent of your subscription. Try a different region or VM size as a test — if that succeeds, it isolates the issue to capacity rather than your workspace config.

Retry the operation once it will work.

Hi! The error wording suggests that the submitted AmlCompute definition still contains LowPriority even though Dedicated was selected in the interface. Inspect the compute resource JSON or deployment YAML and confirm that tier/vmPriority is set to Dedicated. If necessary, create a new cluster from CLI using an explicit dedicated configuration. If the request is definitely Dedicated, quota still does not guarantee physical capacity, so test another size, zone, or region.
