# 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
