Troubleshoot the OperationNotAllowed or PublicIPCountLimitReached quota error

Summary

This article explains how to troubleshoot the OperationNotAllowed or PublicIPCountLimitReached quota error so you can create and deploy an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster successfully.

Symptoms

When you try to create an AKS cluster, you receive the following error message:

Code="OperationNotAllowed"

Message="Operation could not be completed as it results in exceeding approved standardEv3Family Cores quota.

Additional details - Deployment Model: Resource Manager,

(Minimum) New Limit Required: 208.

Submit a request for Quota increase at https://aka.ms/ProdportalCRP/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_Capacity/UsageAndQuota.ReactView/Parameters/<parameter-id> by specifying parameters listed in the 'Details' section for deployment to succeed.

Or, you receive the following error message:

OrginalError: Code="PublicIPCountLimitReached"

Message="Cannot create more than 1000 public IP addresses for this subscription in this region." Details=[]; AKSTeam: Networking, Retriable: false.

Cause

You've exhausted the quota for a resource in an SKU's region.

Solution 1: Request a quota increase for your SKU

Typically, these error messages provide a link to create a support ticket to increase the quota for that SKU. In most cases, these requests are approved automatically, and the increased quota will be available in a short time.

If you don't have the link to request a quota increase, make the request in the Azure portal, as follows:

  1. In the Azure portal, search for and select Quotas.

  2. Select Microsoft.Compute to view the list of quota records.

  3. Use the Location list to filter for records from only your region.

  4. In the specific record that's out-of-quota, select the pencil icon at the end of the record row.

  5. In the Request quota increase pane, complete the New limit field, and then select Submit.

After your quota increase request is approved, you can retry the cluster creation operation.

Solution 2: Reprovision the cluster in another region or SKU

Alternatively, you can reprovision the cluster in a different region or SKU that has enough capacity for your cluster.
