We are facing an issue with scaling up PostgreSQL flexible server.

Error Detail:

}

We are trying to scale up the pgsql to the below configuration

Compute tier: Memory Optimized

Compute processor: AMD

Compute Size: Standard_E8ads_v5 (8 vCores, 64 GiB memory, 12800 max iops)

Storage size: 1TiB

Performance tier: P30 (5000 iops)

Answer 1

Hello Praveen !

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Learn Q&A.

This is not related to your quota but it is more like you don't have a backend capacity in East US for the Memory Optimized / AMD Standard_E8ads_v5 SKU in the availability zone where your Flexible Server is running. You can:

Run az postgres flexible-server list-skus --location eastus and pick an SKU that is currently available (for example an Intel-based Memory Optimized size or a different E-series size)
If you need exactly Standard_E8ads_v5, create a new server in a different AZ or region where that SKU is available and migrate the database

You can open an Azure Support ticket for better assistance.

Hello **Praveen M

Below instructions work without paying for support.

Please carefully follow my instructions below to create a new Service and subscription limits (quotas) request to allow access to deploy Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server in the desired region.

1. Navigate to this link to start the process:

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Support/HelpAndSupportBlade/~/overview

2. Click Create a support request button at top

3. If you see Support AI Assistant as shown below, click Switch to old experience button on right. Otherwise, proceed to step #4

4. Enter quota in the box and click Go

5. Select Others / Service and subscription limits (quotas) and click Next

6. Click Create a support request button, as shown

7. Select Issue type: Service and subscription limits (quotas), Subscription, Quota type: Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server, click Next

8. Now you should be on Additional details tab. Click Enter details

9. Select Region access or Region access with zonal dependency, select Location you need, enter number of cores needed (you may need higher than screenshot), click Save and continue

10. Finish filling out Additional details tab, click Next, review and click Create. You should receive an automated email within a few minutes.
