Azure Container Instance - container group quota exceeded in region

Hello,

We created 3 Azure Container Instances (ACI) and the corresponding file storage for SFTP purposes under the Canada Central region. We did this by repeatedly running the custom deployment template (enclosed).

When we created the 4th ACI, we ran into the error (enclosed).

The Azure diagnostic provided more details (enclosed): "Resource type 'Microsoft.ContainerInstance/containerGroups' container group quota 'StandardCores' exceeded in region 'canadacentral'. Limit: '10', Usage: '10' Requested: '2'.

We are using our “Pay-As-You-Go” subscription for this.

We have a requirement to keep our clients' file uploaded within Canada. Therefore, we have to choose Canada region.

Can you let us know how to overcome this problem/limitation, maybe by lowering the resource settings and/or modifying the custom deployment template I uploaded?

Thanks.

Currently for a pay-as-you-go subscription the default CPU quota is 10 cores per region.

Standard sku cores (CPUs) per region per subscription | 10
Standard sku cores (CPUs) for K80 GPU per region per subscription | 18
Standard sku cores (CPUs) for P100 or V100 GPU per region per subscription | 0


Certain default limits and quotas can be increased. To request an increase of one or more resources that support such an increase, please submit an Azure support request (select "Quota" for Issue type).

Let me know if you have any questions while creating support request.

Hi Karishma

We created a service request now waiting for the Azure Support to respond.
Maybe let me explain what I am trying to achieve. We want to create a SFTP server on Azure to:
1. Allow 10 clients to upload their files
2. Each client must only see their only files
3. We need the SFTP server running long term 24/7, our system will have a background process to monitor and process the uploaded files periodically
4. All files uploaded must be kept in Canada (i.e. Azure Canada Central or Canada East region)

I did the research and learned that using an Azure VM will be expensive and hard to maintain, therefore I landed on Azure Container Instance (ACI) together with Azure File Share. So, now we are trying to create a new ACI and share file for each client.
Is this the right workaround for our needs until SFTP on Azure as a service become available?

Thanks
Jason

10 cores per subscription per region seems HORRIFYINGLY low.
