SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Azure deployments fail with quota exceeded errors when subscription limits are reached, and REST API or Portal responses can misleadingly show "No Limit" values. This Skill validates quota limits and current usage before deployment so capacity problems are caught early. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Quota and Usage Checks: Run pre-built PowerShell or Bash scripts that return limit, usage, and available capacity for all quotas of a resource provider in a region in a single call. - Regional Capacity Comparison: Compare quota availability across multiple Azure regions to select the best deployment target. - Quota Increase Requests: Submit and track quota increase requests using az quota update and az quota request status commands. - Use Case: Before deploying a VM cluster, run the check-quota script for Microsoft.Compute in eastus to confirm the standardDSv3Family vCPU quota has enough available capacity, then request an increase if it does not. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to check available vCPU quota for Microsoft.Compute in the eastus region of your Azure subscription.

Frequently Asked Questions about azure-quotas

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check Azure quota limits and usage with Azure CLI?▼

Install the quota extension with az extension add --name quota, then run az quota list and az quota usage list with a scope like /subscriptions/{id}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/locations/eastus. The included check-quota scripts return limit, usage, and available capacity in one call.

How do I request an Azure quota increase from the command line?▼

Use az quota update with the resource name, scope, and --limit-object value=N to submit an increase request. Track approval with az quota request status list; most adjustable quotas are auto-approved within minutes.

Why does the Azure REST API show No Limit for my quota?▼

No Limit does not mean unlimited capacity; it means the resource provider does not support the quota API. Always use az quota CLI commands first, and fall back to the Azure service limits documentation if the CLI returns BadRequest.

Which Azure resource providers support the quota API?▼

Confirmed supported providers include Microsoft.Compute, Microsoft.Network, Microsoft.App, Microsoft.Storage, Microsoft.MachineLearningServices, and Microsoft.ContainerService. Microsoft.DocumentDB (Cosmos DB) is not supported and returns BadRequest.

How do I find the correct quota resource name for an Azure resource?▼

There is no 1:1 mapping between ARM resource types and quota names. Run az quota list for the provider and region, match the localizedValue description to your resource, then use the exact name field in az quota show or usage commands.
