No able to create AKS Cluster using Azure Pass Subscription
{"code":"InvalidTemplateDeployment","details":[{"code":"ErrCode_InsufficientVCPUQuota","message":"Preflight validation check for resource(s) for container service cluster01 in resource group rg01 failed. Message: Insufficient regional vcpu quota left for location australiaeast. left regional vcpu quota 0, requested quota 8. Details: "}],"message":"The template deployment 'microsoft.aks-1729069146087' is not valid according to the validation procedure. The tracking id is 'c060c2fe-c767-4ac1-9b65-eb74477f701c'. See inner errors for details."}
I forgot to mention that I did not want to increase quota, just I was not able to create an AKS with the (free account) settings, but as free account was suggested by the tutorial, so I believed that it should work.
Also the 3rd tutorial (Exercise - Create an AKS cluster) starts with this note:
"Important
You need your own Azure subscription to run this exercise, and you might incur charges. If you don't already have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin."
After failin sveeral times I searched for a solution and I found that quota increase request may solve the solution. I rather consider that some Azure system expert (with appropriate rights) could solve my issue, but I cannot reach anyone. May I ask your help in regard this issue? Thank you very much!

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.
The error message indicates that you need to request a quota increase for your subscription. Quotas are enforced at various levels, such as resource groups, subscriptions, and accounts. For instance, your subscription might have a limit on the number of cores available in a specific region. If you try to deploy a resource with more cores than allowed, you'll receive an error stating that the quota has been exceeded. For full details on quotas, refer to: see Azure subscription and service limits, quotas, and constraints.
How to Request a Quota Increase:
1.Go to the Azure Portal and navigate to Subscriptions, then go to Usage + quotas. 2.Check for resource limits like vCPUs under Kubernetes Service in your selected region. Further, you can follow step-by-step instructions on how to request a quota increase here: Request a Quota Increase.

Free tiers (test purposed accounts) behave slightly different... and I have not found solution yet but I try filing a quota increase demand, as suggested on the page linked above... read through severa ltickets and solutions, and could not file a quote support, using free account (with offered free credits, though).
Hi József Orbán,
As mentioned in the link: https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/azure-subscription-service-limits
Free Trial subscriptions aren't eligible for limit or quota increases. If you have a Free Trial subscription, you can upgrade to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription. For more information, see Upgrade your Azure Free Trial subscription to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription and the Free Trial subscription FAQ.
Usually, the Azure Pass has limited resources.
Those kinds of subscriptions (Like Student or trial) are for educational purposes.
So, there is not much that you can do about that.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/azure-pass/
Resource Commitment All increases in usage levels of service resources (e.g. adding to the number of compute instances running, or increasing the amount of storage in use) are subject to the availability of these service resources. Any quota described in the Limits, Quotas and Constraints section is not a commitment that there will be sufficient resources available for you to reach the quota.
Thank you Mounika!
In this case I do not know how to deal whith this prerequisite defined on MS Learn (an educational purpose Microsoft site) regarding app creation tutorials, first lesson:
"Prerequisites

Hi József Orbán,
I see you have a case opened with Azure Training team. They will be assisting you here. https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/answers/questions/2140561/errcode-insufficientvcpuquota
Thank you!
Thanks, I solved the problem right before AT team contacted me. Thank you!
I will somehow send my feedbacks to MS Learn (and Azure) team about this controversy.
