Azure skill for Azure Quotas

The azure-quotas skill helps you check, request, and manage Azure service quotas and limits. Use it to view current usage and limits, submit quota increase requests, compare regional capacity, and plan for scaling before deployment.

What it provides

You get visibility into Azure service quotas and limits across subscriptions and regions. Check current usage against limits, submit quota increase requests, compare capacity across regions, and plan for VM, vCPU, storage, and networking quota needs before scaling.

Note

This skill always uses the Azure CLI (az quota) for quota lookups.

Prerequisites

  • Azure subscription and region: Create a free account if you don't have one. Both a subscription and a target region are needed to check quotas.
  • AI assistant with Azure Skills: GitHub Copilot for Azure, Visual Studio Code with Azure MCP extension, Claude Code, or another compatible MCP client.
  • Azure CLI (v2.60.0+): Install and sign in with az login.
  • Azure CLI quota extension: Install with az extension add --name quota. The skill relies on az quota commands.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Plan a new deployment and validate capacity before you deploy.
  • Select an Azure region by comparing quota availability across regions.
  • Troubleshoot quota-exceeded errors by checking current usage against limits.
  • Request quota increases through the Azure CLI or Azure portal.
  • Compare regional capacity to find regions with available quota.
  • Validate provisioning limits to ensure a deployment doesn't exceed quotas.
