SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps validate Azure subscription quotas and current usage to prevent failed deployments due to insufficient capacity and to guide region selection and quota increase requests.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CLI-first Quota Discovery: Use az quota list, az quota show, and az quota usage show to discover quota resource names, limits, and current usage.
  • Capacity Validation & Region Comparison: Calculate available capacity (limit minus usage) and compare regions to select deployable locations for VM families and other resources.
  • Quota Increase Management: Prepare and submit quota update requests via az quota update, track request status, and handle provider-specific fallbacks when the quota API is unsupported.
  • Use Case: Validate vCPU availability across multiple regions before fleet provisioning and request increases where needed to meet capacity requirements.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to check vCPU quota and current usage for subscription <subscription-id> in eastus and recommend regions with sufficient available vCPUs for a planned deployment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check Azure vCPU quota and current usage for a subscription?▼

You can check Azure vCPU quotas and current usage by running az quota list and az quota show commands to discover resource limits and calculate available capacity for deployment planning.

What is the best way to compare Azure regions for available VM capacity?▼

Comparing Azure regions for available VM capacity involves calculating the difference between quota limits and current usage across target locations to identify deployable regions for your required VM families.

How do I request an Azure quota increase using the CLI?▼

To request an Azure quota increase, use az quota update to submit update requests for specific providers like Microsoft.Compute, then track the request status or handle provider-specific fallbacks when the quota API is unsupported.

Why does my Azure deployment fail with a quota exceeded error?▼

Azure deployments fail with quota exceeded errors when your current resource usage reaches the subscription limit, requiring you to validate available capacity or request a quota increase before provisioning new resources.

Does the az quota CLI command support all Azure resource providers?▼

The az quota command supports providers including Microsoft.Compute and Microsoft.Network, but you may need to handle provider-specific fallbacks when the quota API is unsupported for certain resources.
