# Azure Quotas - Service Limits & Capacity Management > **AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE** — Follow these instructions exactly for quota management and capacity validation. ## Overview **What are Azure Quotas?** Azure quotas (also called service limits) are the maximum number of resources you can deploy in a subscription. Quotas: - Prevent accidental over-provisioning - Ensure fair resource distribution across Azure - Represent **available capacity** in each region - Can be increased (adjustable quotas) or are fixed (non-adjustable) **Key Concept:** **Quotas = Resource Availability** If you don't have quota, you cannot deploy resources. Always check quotas when planning deployments or selecting regions. ## When to Use This Skill Invoke this skill when: - **Planning a new deployment** - Validate capacity before deployment - **Selecting an Azure region** - Compare quota availability across regions - **Troubleshooting quota exceeded errors** - Check current usage vs limits - **Requesting quota increases** - Submit increase requests via CLI or Portal - **Comparing regional capacity** - Find regions with available quota - **Validating provisioning limits** - Ensure deployment won't exceed quotas ## Quick Reference | **Property** | **Details** | |--------------|-------------| | **Primary Tool** | Azure CLI (`az quota`) - **USE THIS FIRST, ALWAYS** | | **Extension Required** | `az extension add --name quota` (MUST install first) | | **Key Commands** | `az quota list`, `az quota s...
