Hi Marjorie Palmer,
It seems that you're encountering some restrictions with your Azure Free Trial subscription while attempting to deploy an AI model within Azure Machine Learning Studio. Let's check how we can assist you out:
1.Understand Your Quotas: The Free Trial subscription includes certain resource limits, such as quotas for compute instances and other services. You can view your current quotas by going to the Azure Machine Learning Studio and checking your quotas under management settings.
2.Requesting a Quota Increase: If you require additional resources beyond your existing quota, you can request an increase in quota. Here's how:
3.Default Limits: Take note that the default limits may differ based on the particular resources you're attempting to utilize. It's advisable to consult the Azure machine learning quotas documentation for details.
4.Moving from Free Trial: If you repeatedly reach these limits and require additional capacity for your projects, consider moving your subscription from Free Trial to a Pay-As-You-Go plan, which removes many of these limits.
We hope this has been helpful! If you need any more assistance or have additional questions, you can contact me anytime.

Hi @VarunTha
Your recommendations don't resolve my issue. Let me explain why...
1.Understand Your Quotas:
The Azure Free Trial subscription is limited to only 4 cores of compute quota for creating VMs. The Microsoft learning exercise to Explore Automated Machine Learning in Azure Machine Learning Studio requires a total of 16 cores. A quota increase of 12 cores would be needed.
2.Requesting a Quota Increase:
It is impossible to request a quota increase for an Azure Free Trial subscription in the Azure management portal. That is the issue!
Per Microsoft Copilot: "Azure Free Trial subscriptions come with predefined compute resource quotas that cannot be increased. If you need higher limits, you can upgrade to a Pay-as-you-go subscription."
THE PARADOX: Exercise - Explore Automated Machine Learning in Azure Machine Learning - Training displays a note with a link to sign-up for an Azure free trial subscription. However an Azure free trial subscription doesn't provide sufficient compute quota to create the specified VMs in the learning exercise, nor capability to request any quota increases.
SUGGESTION: Can Microsoft provide some method to request needed quota increases for an eager Microsoft AI learner's Azure Free Trial subscription?
Hi Marjorie Palmer,
We understand your concerns regarding the messaging about the Azure Free Trial subscription. The statement about signing up for an Azure subscription with free credits is intended to encourage new users to explore Azure services. However, it can be confusing, as the free trial has specific limitations, particularly for compute resources.
The free credits are meant to help users get started, but they do not provide full access to all features or the ability to exceed the predefined quotas. This is why, for more resource-intensive tasks like the one you're trying to complete, an upgrade to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription is necessary.
