When trying to create a new Function App in a subscription I get an error message:

ERROR VIEW

Validation failed for a resource. Check 'Error.Details[0]' for more information. (Code: ValidationForResourceFailed)

Operation cannot be completed without additional quota. Additional details - Location: Germany West Central Current Limit (Total VMs): 0 Current Usage: 0 Amount required for this deployment (Total VMs): 1 (Minimum) New Limit that you should request to enable this deployment: 1. Note that if you experience multiple scaling operations failing (in addition to this one) and need to accommodate the aggregate quota requirements of these operations, you will need to request a higher quota limit than the one currently displayed. (Code: SubscriptionIsOverQuotaForSku)

In Quotas / App Services (public preview), in front of Germany regions, it says: request adjustment
Need Microsoft support to increase this quota for our tenant

additional question: We already have App services / App function running in the region, why it says that our current quota is 0

Hi @sang delattre ,

The error is a subscription quota issue for the region + App Service/Function SKU you’re trying to deploy into.

From the Code: SubscriptionIsOverQuotaForSku, even though your usage is 0, your subscription’s quota in that region/SKU capacity pool is currently set to 0, which blocks new Function App deployments.

We have engaged backend team to increase the quota and the issue is resolved. Able to create the function app successfully.

Hope this helps!

    Hi,

    Which SKU are you attempting to use for your Function App? For example, is it Premium (e.g. SKU: EP1/EP2/EP3) or traditional Consumption (SKU: Y1), or Flex Consumption, or something different?

    Let's say you are trying to deploy your function app in new Elastic Premium EP1. On the App Service Quotas screen you posted above, filter for Germany West Central, and if you have existing quota for EP1 VMs, say "0 of 3", click the pencil and try increasing it by 1, which would be 4 for this example.

    If your automated request is approved, check if Total Regional VMs for Germany West Central has automatically increased to higher number and then try your deployment again.

    If you don't have any quota for the SKU you are trying to deploy, click pencil and request amount you need, and if it is approved, try your deployment agian.

    Please replay back with your results, whether positive or negative.

    Thanks.

    -TP
