    I believe it is well known that Azure East US has capacity issues, and particularly with regards to Postgres instances for some reason. People I know are looking to move workloads to one of the central US regions ("North Central US", "South Central US", ...) as an alternative to East US. I believe this is based on a direct recommendation from Microsoft.

      I'm not sure is it right but I'm requesting Total Regional vCPUs (100) and after getting approval Standard Dasv7 Family vCPUs (100) and this one always rejected I've tried many regions.

      I'm trying to increase the quotes region by region, already tried your mentioned ones and got the same issue. I've tried poland with tbe same issue, that's why I'm asking :(

    I've always had capacity/quota issues with Azure compute. I would never pick them as my primary vendor. They're great at some cloud stuff (AAD/EntraID/Office/MDM), but everything else is a really bad time. Using AWS & Azure together is generally the best path.

    Setting up federated access into AWS via Azure is good way to make this not suck. You can put a VPN between Azure and AWS and it almost feels like one cloud. You can spin up EC2 machines and have them talk to your private resources in Azure (and vice versa, I suppose).

      It's not for me, it's for the enterprises who will integrate our ecosystem in their environment. If it will be my decision I will just forget about the azure, I hate their culture and way they working.

    I’ve also run into various capacity issues in each US region I have worked in. East US 2 has been least constrained for me, but I recall that I was still bouncing around between VM instance types to find one that worked last time I deployed fresh.

      will be great if you'll share the family name you are using.

    Newer generation SKUs (which that one is) are often in short supply. I have plenty of bad things to say about Azure, but I've never had trouble getting capacity older than bleeding edge in eastus2 and centralus regions, at least.

      what type you use, seems it allows me to increase the quote for dasv5 to 100. Hope I will not have issues further.

        We are mostly using Standard_DXds_v4

    I hear that yes, Azure is capacity constrained at present.
