Increase Azure AI Search quota beyond limits

Question

Hey!

We plan to use Azure AI Search (S3HD), but I saw some quota limits, which could be a show-stopper.

I saw there is an auto-approval quota increase from 6 to 16 maximum services, which leads us to have a 1000 index per service, so 16.000 indices.

Our goal is to set up a multi-tenant environment with a possibility of hundreds of thousands of tenants and we'd like to use strictly one index per tenant. This means we'll need the possibility to handle hundreds of thousands of indices in the future.

Is that something that could be possible with Azure AI Search (if not now, but increase quota limits beyond in the future) or should we look for another solution?

Thank you for your answers! -- Andras

@Andras Pinter Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

S3 HD doesn't provide the indexer feature and data ingestion must use APIs that push data from source to index.

All the limits/quota increases mentioned in the public documentation are indeed possible.

However, it is highly recommended to create a support ticket if you require a quota increase beyond what is currently available.

It is crucial to keep in mind that changes to limits may be subject to various factors, including business justification.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions on this.
