Hello Community,

I making my way through Knowledge Mining exercise through the Ai Engineering Learning track:

https://microsoftlearning.github.io/mslearn-knowledge-mining/Instructions/Exercises/02-search-skills.html#create-an-azure-function-for-a-custom-skill

When I get down to "Create an Azure Function for a custom skill", I am not able to successfully deploy a Function App. Azure portal give this error: "This region has quota of 0 instances for your subscription. Try selecting different region or SKU. (Code: SubscriptionIsOverQuotaForSku)"

The tutorial, however, requires the region to be "The same region as your Azure AI Search resource"

I played around with changing regions, but it doesn't seem to resolve it. I think it may have to do with "hosting options".

This question is related to the following Learning Module

    Hello Chris White,

    Thanks for your question.

    Yes, they are allowed. The error message you're seeing suggests that your subscription has reached its quota limit for the selected region and SKU.

    Based on the thread below, it is to prevent excessive tutorial usage from overloading servers See: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azureappservice/issues/2447
    I will recommend waiting a bit and then selecting a different region or SKU or upgrading to pay as you go.

    Yes, Azure Functions are allowed on free subscriptions. However, there are some limitations on the number of instances and execution time. The error message you received indicates that the region you selected has a quota of 0 instances for your subscription. You can try selecting a different region or SKU to resolve this issue.
