I am deploying SAP S/4 HANA software and getting an error message for insufficient quota. Please can you help me get the necessary quota increase(s) on my account.

The error message is:

AZURERM: The subscription policy limit for resource type 'Total Regional vCPUs' was exceeded. The limit for resource type 'Total Regional vCPUs' is 4 per subscription, the current count is 0, and the requested increment is 44. The subscription policy limit for resource type 'Standard ESv5 Family vCPUs' was exceeded. The limit for resource type 'Standard ESv5 Family vCPUs' is 4 per subscription, the current count is 0, and the requested increment is 40. Please contact Microsoft Azure support to enable the required resources.

    Hello @Thozama Makiza

    As the error suggests you've hit the default limit for your subscription for the family "Standard ESv5 Family vCPUs" due to which you are unable to create the resource as your resource requires 44 vCPUs, but your subscription is limited to 4 vCPUs and needs additional 40 vCPUs to be enabled.

    To fix it, you'd be required to raise the request the limit extension for your subscription. Here are the steps that you can follow for it:

    1. Goto https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Capacity/QuotaMenuBlade/~/myQuotas for your subscription.
    2. Make sure to select your right subscription and right region in the top filter box:

    3. Then search for the family "Standard ESv5 Family vCPUs", for example I've select Brazil South for me the limit is set to 350.

    You have to select the icon (which is in blue color) written next to Yes under Adjustable column.

    1. Then you'd see something like below and if you see something like below "Unavailable in this region", suggestion would be to use "Show recommendations".
      Otherwise you can go ahead with "Contact Support" option

    2. After going ahead with "Contact Support" option, you are required to create the support ticket with "Leave & Create" option

    3. You can later on fill out your next limit for the vCPU cores

    4. Then you can share the required details and complete the process by creating the support request for the increase and if they happen to conclude that they can't approve the required limit then you'd have to discuss with them for the alternate region or the alternate SKU which they suggest and then you can pick that for your deployment.
