Hi Berna Bulgurcu,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Azure enforces default quota limits on resources like vCPUs for each subscription and region. This is to prevent accidental over-provisioning and to manage capacity. In your case, the error indicates that you've reached the vCPU quota limit for the EASTUS region.

To resolve this issue, you have a few options:

Attempt to create your AKS cluster in a different region where you may have available quota.

If possible, configure your AKS cluster to use smaller node sizes that require fewer vCPUs.

Verify if you have any existing resources in the EASTUS region that are consuming your vCPU quota.

Open a support ticket with Azure to request an increase in your vCPU quota for the EASTUS region.

For complete quota information, see Azure subscription and service limits, quotas, and constraints.

To request a quota increase, go to the portal and file a support issue. In the support issue, request an increase in your quota for the region.

The step-by-step instructions for creating a support issue are provided here: https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/error-resource-quota#solution

The step-by-step instruction does not contain the following information:

When you start filing a support request you need to go through several steps:

Problem description

Recommended solution

Additional details

Review + create
from which at the 2nd step you get a list of similar/related tickets on Azure (and surprisingly on Reddit and Stackoverflow) Support website, which do not provide a real and ultimate answer for such cases when someone is in free tier/account for learning purposes.
It takes several seconds to load those solutions, so wait for it. Then - you may read the solutions - but if you don't find your way to overcome the error, click the X on the top right corner to close the offered documents (list of links), this is the only way to get the Next button visible on the bottom of the page. At this point you can select "Get Expert help... $/month)" or "Ask our community". Select your preference. Now you can step further. In the second case you are dropped on https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/community/ website, where you can "create a support ticket"... starting again detailing your situation. Oh no, clicking that link drops you (back) on Azure Portal... so that's an infinit cycle for nothing!

Coming back to the Next button step, you can file your request only in a case if you subscribe for official (paid) help, then Next button turn clickable... and I believe that case you may step over the last 2 remaining steps to really file your request. I am not sure. I have not been there.
