Unable to create a instance ( in the size of NC6 series ), tried changing the Location too.

I am trying to create a NC series Instance ( NC6 ), with windows 2019 Datacenter OS. Intially I faced the issue of Size not available , there was remedy to this in some other support thread where it was recommended to change the Location but I have tried that too but the issue still remains the same.

Hello, @KrishnamurthyBalaji-4190!

We've seen unprecedented demand for GPU VMs over the past several months which can make it difficult to create GPU resources. There are two things we can do:

  1. Ask us to try to find a region with your VM size (NC series). The NC series is experiencing high demand so I would skip this step for now, but others may have better success with this for other VM sizes or at some point in the future.

  2. Create a support ticket to increase your quota for a specific region. You can create a support request to get expert guidance for the region that you are interested in (Issue Type: Service and subscription Limit (quotas) and Quota type: Compute-VM (core-vCPUs) subscription limit increases). There are instructions to do this in our documentation and I would be happy to help with the process if you run into any issues:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/general/region-access-request-process


@KrishnamurthyBalaji-4190, I'll follow up with you directly to try to get this resolved.


For other readers, this is the one of the threads that you mentioned with more information that's especially useful for free accounts:

Hi,
Regarding subscription I upgraded to Pay as per Use.As per your guidance what value should i provide in the place of "vCPU cores" its asking the value to be more than 13, "The value should be atleast 13".

@KrishnamurthyBalaji-4190, I would go with the recommendation although a single NC6 should be 6 vCPUs. If the recommendation of 13 doesn't work, let me know.

Edit: It looks like the quota increase works a bit differently than the support request for a quota increase. Go with the minimum required if it's more than what you need.
