I'm trying to run an ACI with GPU enabled. I've checked regional avaliability of GPU support plenty of times already, I also checked every single region for avaliability during deployment in Azure Portal. No matter what region I choose I always get the message like that: " No GPUs are available for the 'West Europe' region".
I'm trying to understand if that might be due to some limitations in my subscription, but I'm not aware of any.
I would appreciate some help with understanding what's going on here!

You can see list of supported regions in link below.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-region-availability#linux-container-groupsWhat type of GPU you are using?
Have you tried to open Azure Support ticket and increase GPU quota? -

I'm aware of the GPUs being in preview. However, when I try to create a Container Instance with GPU, in a region where it states it should be avaliable, I always see the message I quoted in the original post. I've tried several regions, eg. Europe West, North, couple of US ones where theoretically they should be avaliable, and I've never seen any GPUs to choose from.
Also my resource group is by default in West Europe, where the GPU ACIs should be avaliable.I'm wondering wether there is some default limit that doesn't allow to create any GPU ACIs until lifted, but from what I see in the link below there should be at least K80 GPUs avaliable by default.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-quotasI haven't yet raised Support ticket for that

I raised the issue with our dedicated support, thank You for Your suggestion.
For anyone interested, I'll post what they'll tell me here later. -
