To request quota increase, submit a support ticket with the following fields:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Issue Type | Technical |
| Subscription | Your subscription |
| Service | My Services |
| Service Type | Container Apps |
| Resource | maxoutquotas |
| Summary | An explanation for your request, including: • What quotas you want increased • How much of an increase you would like • Business reasons for the increase |
| Problem Type | Configuration and Management |
| Problem Subtype | Scaling |
Please keep in mind the following when it comes to quota increase requests:
Scaling apps vs environments: There are a number of different quotas available to increase. Use these descriptions to help identify your needs:
- Increase apps and cores per environment: Allows you to run more apps within an environment and/or more intensive apps. Recommended if your workloads can deploy within the same network and security boundaries.
- Increasing environments: Recommended if your workloads need network or security boundaries. Note: Additional business context may be required if your request involves increasing environment-level quotas.
Regions: Approvals for increase requests vary based on compute capacity available in Azure regions.
Specific compute requirements: The platform supports 4GB per container app. Memory limits overrides are evaluated on a per-case basis.
Business reasoning for scaling: You may be eligible for a quota increase request if the platform limits are blocking your workload demands. Scale limits overrides are evaluated on a per-case basis.
