5## Overview
6 
7**What are Azure Quotas?**
8 
9Azure quotas (also called service limits) are the maximum number of resources you can deploy in a subscription. Quotas:
10- Prevent accidental over-provisioning
11- Ensure fair resource distribution across Azure
12- Represent **available capacity** in each region
13- Can be increased (adjustable quotas) or are fixed (non-adjustable)
14 
15**Key Concept:** **Quotas = Resource Availability**
16 
17If you don't have quota, you cannot deploy resources. Always check quotas when planning deployments or selecting regions.

24- **Selecting an Azure region** - Compare quota availability across regions
25- **Troubleshooting quota exceeded errors** - Check current usage vs limits
26- **Requesting quota increases** - Submit increase requests via CLI or Portal
27- **Comparing regional capacity** - Find regions with available quota
