How to fix region quota issue while deploying React, Node.js, and MSSQL web application in Azure?

Question

I'm facing an issue while trying to deploy my React, Node.js, and MSSQL web application on Azure. During the deployment process, I received an error stating that the region I selected has a 0 quota for my subscription type (free trial). The error message suggests choosing a different region or SKU. I've tried selecting different regions such as South India, West India, and Central India, but the issue persists. Could you please guide me on how to resolve this quota issue, or suggest an alternative region or SKU for deployment?

• Subscription Type: Free Trial
• Error Message: "The region has 0 quota of subscription, choose a different region or SKU."
• Resources: React app (Node.js backend), MSSQL database
• Region(s) Tried: South India, West India, Central India

@Danish Ahmad We apologize for the quota error message you have received.

From my experience, there are a few things I would share with you.

1. New instances are frequently created as there is an automated process that runs every few hours to create new instances.
2. If a region is having capacity issues, free tier subscriptions are going to be placed on tighter restrictions so that paying customers can receive access if possible.
3. Capacity concerns can be regional in their spread. Events can cause a region or country to consume more cloud computing at once and thus all datacenter regions for that country can become limited.
4. Trying a different tier SKU such as a shared tier or standard tier web app will likely have instances available.

My suggestions:

1. Wait a few hours and try again
2. If this is a serious matter, upgrading your free trial to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription (costs incurred) might ensure your instance requests are treated with priority.
3. Try a datacenter in a different region if you are allowed (West Europe or such)
4. Each SKU has its own queue of instances. Trying another type of SKU can increase your chances of success. (cost incurred)
