Request a Quota Increase in Azure

How to request an Azure quota increase when the installer flags that a required resource isn't available in your selected region.

When you select your resource group region in the Reporting Hub installer, the installer checks your Azure subscription's quota for each required resource — App Service, SQL Database, and Fabric Capacity — in that region. Any resource without quota in the selected region is marked with a red icon, and you can't continue until you either:

• Confirm that you will create that resource in a different region (by selecting Will select region on creation), or

• Request a quota increase for the resource in your preferred region and then retry the installation.

The path you take depends on the resource:

• App Service quota requests are submitted through the My Quotas blade.

• SQL Database and Fabric Capacity quota requests are submitted through a Microsoft support ticket.

Microsoft typically processes support tickets within a few business days. {% endhint %}

When to Request a Quota Increase

Request a quota increase if:

• You need all Reporting Hub resources to live in a specific region for compliance, latency, or data residency reasons.

• The flagged resource is the only one without quota in your preferred region and you don't want to split deployment across regions.

If you are flexible on region for the flagged resource, the simpler path is to select Will select region on creation in the installer and choose a different region for that resource when prompted. See Installation Failures for details on multi-region deployments.

Minimum Quota Required

When you submit the quota request, ask for the minimum required for Reporting Hub:

Resource	Deployment SKU	Quota to Request
App Service	S1 (Standard)	1 unit of S1
SQL Database	Basic	1 vCore (via Region access)
Fabric Capacity	F2	2 Capacity Units (CU)

You can request a higher value if you plan to scale, but these minimums are enough to complete the installation.

Request a Quota Increase for App Service

Use the My Quotas blade for App Service requests.

1. Go to the My Quotas blade in the Azure portal: https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Capacity/QuotaMenuBlade/~/myQuotas.

2. At the top of the page, set the filters:

   1. For Provider, select App Service.

   2. For Region, select the region you want to deploy into.

   3. Leave Subscription set to the subscription you're installing Reporting Hub into.

3. In the results list, find the S1 quota and select the pencil Edit icon on the right of the row.

4. In the New quota request field, enter 1 and select Submit.

5. If the request can't be approved automatically, the same form will open a Microsoft support ticket. Complete and submit it.

Request a Quota Increase for SQL Database or Fabric Capacity

Use the Help + support blade for SQL Database and Fabric Capacity requests. These always go through a Microsoft support ticket.

1. Go to the Help + support blade in the Azure portal: https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Support/HelpAndSupportBlade.

1. In the Tell us about the issue field, enter quota and select Go.

2. For Which service are you having an issue with?, select Service and subscription limits (quotas).

3. For Which subscription are you having an issue with?, select the subscription you're installing Reporting Hub into.

4. For What issue are you having?, set Problem type to the service the installer flagged:

   • SQL database for SQL Database quota.

   • Microsoft Fabric for Fabric Capacity quota.

5. Select Next.

6. On the Service and Subscription Limits (Quotas) card, select Create a support request.

1. On the Problem description tab, set What is your issue related to? to Azure services. The Issue type, Subscription, and Quota type fields are pre-filled from your previous selections — confirm they're correct, then select Next.

2. On the Additional details tab, under Request details, select Enter details to open the Quota details panel.

3. Fill in the panel based on the resource:

   • For SQL Database:

     1. Set SQL database quota type to Region access.

     2. Set Location to the region you want to deploy into.

     3. Set Expected Consumption to 1 (one vCore is enough for the Basic tier — Reporting Hub uses approximately 100–125 DTU).

     4. Optionally add context in Description (for example, Deploying Reporting Hub, requires SQL Database access in this region).

     5. Select Save and continue.

   • For Fabric Capacity:

     1. Set Location to the region you want to deploy into.

     2. Set QuotaBucket to CapacityQuota.

     3. Set New limit (CU) to 2 (the F2 SKU is 2 Capacity Units, which is enough to deploy Reporting Hub). Request a higher value if you plan to scale.

     4. Select Save and continue.

4. Complete the remaining fields on the Additional details tab (advanced diagnostic information, support method, contact info), then select Next.

5. On the Review + create tab, review your request and select Create to submit.

Microsoft typically processes quota support tickets within a few business days. This processing time is outside of Reporting Hub's control. If your installation timeline is tight, consider deploying the flagged resource in an alternate region while you wait for approval.

Return to the Installer

Once Microsoft has approved your quota request:

1. Return to the Reporting Hub installer.

2. Re-run the installation, selecting the same region you requested quota for.

3. The quota check on the Resource Group page should now show a green check for the resource that was previously flagged.

4. Continue through the remaining installation steps as described in Self-Serve Guided Install.
