Hello,

I am part of pay-as-you-go subscription with Azure. Unable to set up VMSS nor AKS cluster. The options are enabled but nothing happens on click. After waiting for a long time there is an error encountered. Same issue while creating AKS cluster as well.

I have a basic support plan with MS and hence can't get support.

Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets

    Thanks @Durga Reshma Malthi

    I had checked this before, in fact I had got it increased few months ago.

    At least in south India I have enough quota, I believe.

    Also tried, clearing browsing data and in private window, but the same issue still persists.

    Hi Nagaraj KV

    Try creating AKS in East US or Central India with 1-node Standard_B2s.

    Also try using Az CLI

    az group create --name my-test-rg --location southindia
    az aks create \
      --resource-group my-test-rg \
      --name myAksTest \
      --node-count 1 \
      --enable-addons monitoring \
      --generate-ssh-keys \
      --node-vm-size Standard_B2s
    

    If this fails, the output will give you the error.

    Even if previously registered, providers can become unregistered due to subscription changes. Run:

    az provider show --namespace Microsoft.Compute --query "registrationState"
    az provider show --namespace Microsoft.ContainerService --query "registrationState"
    

    If either show "NotRegistered", then re-register it using below cmds:

    az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Compute
    az provider register --namespace Microsoft.ContainerService

    Hope this helps!

    Please Let me know if you have any queries.

    I am able to set up container and cluster from Azure CLI, which means there is some browser issue, I am in the process of finding out.

    VMSS might also work through CLI, which I haven't given a try yet.
