@Hamidou Sy

The error messages indicate that you're exceeding your available quotas for both standardDADSv5Family cores and total regional cores in the westus2 region.

To resolve this:

Request a Quota Increase:

Go to the Azure portal.

Search for and select Quotas.

Filter by Microsoft.Compute to see your quota records for the region

For each quota that’s insufficient, click the pencil icon to edit, specify your new limits, and submit your request.

If it's urgent, you could also consider reprovisioning your cluster in a different region that may have more available resources or choose a different SKU that meets your requirements but falls under the current quota limits.

It's also a good idea to set up alerts to notify you when you are nearing your quotas. Check out this guide for how to set up alerts.

If you've done this already or if it doesn't solve your problem, I have a few follow-up questions to help narrow down the issue:

What specific VM size(s) are you trying to provision?

Is this the first time you're trying to create a cluster, or have you successfully created clusters in this region before?

Have you checked if there are any regional outages or specific capacity issues in westus2 that might affect resource availability?

Hello @Hamidou Sy In each Azure subscription and region, core quotas for virtual machines (VMs) and virtual machine scale sets are organized into two tiers.

The first tier is the Total Regional vCPU quota, and the second tier consists of vCPU quotas for specific VM size families, such as the D-series.

When deploying a new VM, the number of vCPUs required must not exceed either the total regional vCPU quota or the quota for the specific VM size family.

If either limit is exceeded, the VM deployment will fail. Additionally, different VM sizes require varying numbers of vCPUs.

To find out the number of cores for different VM sizes, you can use the Get-AzVMSize command:

Get-AzVMSize -Location 'southeastasia'

User's image

This will display the available VM sizes and their corresponding core counts in the specified region.

Additionally, you can use the Get-AzVMUsage cmdlet to check your current quota usage:

Get-AzVMUsage -Location 'southeastasia'

This command provides details about your resource usage and available quotas in the specified region.
