Why can't I select Standard_NC6s_v3 as my endpoint Virtual Machine?

Question

I'm trying to deploy my endpoint, and I wish to select Standard_NC6s_v3 as my VM, but the issue is that it only allows me to select up to these VMs.

The NC6s falls into the following category (not enough quota).

At first, I thought that it was related to my quota issues. Then, I try to request quota. The second issue pops up. Showing that I don't have permission to request quota.

Can anyone help me to fix this issue?

To give more context, Azure enforces two types of vCPU quotas for virtual machines:

• standard vCPU quotas
• spot vCPU quotas

Standard vCPU quotas apply to pay-as-you-go VMs and reserved VM instances. They're enforced at two tiers, for each subscription, in each region:

• The first tier is the total regional vCPU quota.
• The second tier is the VM-family vCPU quota such as D-series vCPUs.

This article shows how to request increases for VM-family vCPU quotas. You can also request increases for vCPU quotas by region or spot vCPU quotas.

To perform quota operations in a workspace, you need subscription level permissions. This means setting either subscription level quota or workspace level quota for your managed compute resources can only happen if you have write permissions at the subscription scope.

I would suggest you, check Manage access to Azure Machine Learning workspaces for more details.

You can also request quota increase from the Usage + quotas view in the Azure portal or submit a quota increase request from Azure Machine Learning studio.

Do let me know if that helps or have any other queries.
