VM create AllocationFailed

Question

VM create AllocationFailed

owen.kim 176

My app operates in a structure where a VM is created whenever there is a request from a customer.

But intermittently I get AllocationFailed.

There are still a lot of relaxation on subscriptions, and it seems like an error caused by the lack of resources in the region itself.

I want to check the local resources in advance and make them to be used in other regions if they are insufficient.
Is there any way to know in advance

Hello @owen.kim

Thank you a lot for your answer.

For now, I would say that there is no specific way to review the resource allocation since when you deploy a resource is like "Creating resources on the fly"... However, I want to suggest this to prevent it from happening again so, please see below:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/capacity-reservation-overview

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/capacity-reservation-overallocate

I can not deny that this is a great question which takes its time to isolate as well as analyze the issue. As I mentioned previously, you can work on preventing : )

I hope the all the response were useful as well as educative for both as well as any other person facing this case scenario.

It was a pleasure to assist you and have a great day!!

The link is you attached is the post I posted earlier.
The question has not been resolved.

First of all, Azure Resource Manager enables you to view your deployment history. Could you give me more details on where I can see the ?

Thank you for your answer : )

If it is not yet solved is because I was waiting for you but for now lets keep going if it is fine for you....

-You can enable debugging at the resource level so, we can get more details about it. >>> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/troubleshooting/enable-debug-logging?tabs=azure-powershell

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/troubleshooting/common-deployment-errors

-You might be able to get more info when the error is showing up but it is required to go to Activity log >>>>>> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/troubleshooting/find-error-code?tabs=azure-portal

-Furthermore, take a look at it please >>> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deployment-history?tabs=azure-portal

The main concern here is to assist you and in case you feel this is not going to right track Please feel free to say it because I will appreciate it a lot.

I didn't have time because of work.. I couldn't proceed.

First of all, what I am most curious about is whether east US 2, not my subscription, is running out of resources? or not? Is there any way to know in advance

My app creates a VM by request in one way. Since it takes a lot of latency in both directions, we try to implement in a way that it is possible to create a VM in advance, and if it is not possible, create it in a different region or a different size.

Does east US mainly run out of resources?? Are other regions a bit less?

Hello @owen.kim

Thank you for your answer.

For instance, if you or anyone else needs to review Azure status at the globally level you can direct yourself to the following links:

https://status.azure.com/en-us/status

https://status.azure.com/en-us/status/history/

https://status.dev.azure.com/

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Health/AzureHealthBrowseBlade/~/serviceIssues

Now I have to say that one of your details brought my attention a lot...

My app creates a VM by request in one way. Since it takes a lot of latency in both directions, we try to implement in a way that it is possible to create a VM in advance

So, I wonder if I can get more information related to the provisioning flow or the way this should be behaved. Furthermore, I was wondering as well as the next questions..

Are you using API's to get this done from your app???

How is the VM in advanced provisioned? (Portal, PowerShell or CloudShell terminal?

Finally, I would like to provide a couple of commands for you to review if per regions, Azure is running out of resources...

Get-AzureRmComputeResourceSku | Where-Object {$_.Locations.Contains("westus")}

Get-AzureRmComputeResourceSku | Where-Object {$_.Locations.Contains("eastus") -and $_.Restrictions.ReasonCode -ne 'NotAvailableForSubscription'}

I hope that will be helpful for you.

Hello @owen.kim

Almost forget one step more on this... If the VM is created but you have this issue, you may try to do redeploy/reapply to overcome this issue...

Have a good one!

Oh thank you for sharing a useful link I hadn't seen.

You've explained it well, but I need a definitive answer. It will be decided whether or not further development will be made based on this content.

Does "NotAvailableForSubscription" include a state that is unavailable due to lack of resources in eastUS2?
