I'm trying to install AKS following the Azure tutorial. I tried both in the shell and using the browser interface. It fails with the message below. The number of vcpus that AKS is requesting seems extremely high. I wonder if anyone has any insights into this.
Preflight validation check for resource(s) for container service MyTestCluster in resource group AKSResourceGroup failed. Message: Insufficient regional vcpu quota left for location eastus. left regional vcpu quota 0, requested quota 824673243448. Details: (Code: ErrCode_InsufficientVCPUQuota)
Hi @David George ,
without details it isn't possible to verify how many vCPUs you are trying to deploy.
You can verify the available quota of the VM SKU:
Check vCPU quotas (PowerShell)

It is just the standard AKS subscription. Requesting 824673243448 vcpus seems like a bug to me.
Hi @David George ,
824673243448 vcpus seems to be a little overkill ;-)
Which Azure tutorial are you referring to?

Hi David George,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.
In addition to @Andreas Baumgarten suggestion and additionally try the below steps.
Azure enforces default quota limits on resources like vCPUs for each subscription and region. This is to prevent accidental over-provisioning and to manage capacity. In your case, the error indicates that you've reached the vCPU quota limit for the EASTUS region.
To resolve this issue, you have a few options:
For complete quota information, see Azure subscription and service limits, quotas, and constraints.
To request a quota increase, go to the portal and file a support issue. In the support issue, request an increase in your quota for the region.
The step-by-step instructions for creating a support issue are provided here: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/error-resource-quota#solution
