Azure soft limits and ARM resources

2
votes

azure has a set of default soft limits for every subscription (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/azure-subscription-service-limits/)

While I could easily check the current VM cores limit in ASM (via the old portal), I've not been able to determine what these limits are for ARM only subscriptions (ARM resources are not listed in the old portal and there is no way to check limits on the new portal).

Is there a way (Powershell, CLI or API call) to check cores limit for ARM-only subscriptions ?

On the new portal, if you click Subscription, choose the subscription you wan to view, click Settings, and then click Usage + quotas, you will see a blade telling you that it is not available yet. I am still looking for some other way to do this. – Jack Zeng
Cool thanks. This link redirects to the old portal and does not report ARM resources. Any chance you have a magic way to get actual ARM consumption ? (like: I have a subscription with an armada of ARM VM's and the quota page reports "0" used cores...) – Olivier Dauby

It is possible via Azure CLI, too:

~ $ azure config mode arm
info:    Executing command config mode
info:    New mode is arm
info:    config mode command OK

~ $ azure vm list-usage --location eastus
info:    Executing command vm list-usage
data:    Name                         Unit   CurrentValue  Limit
data:    ---------------------------  -----  ------------  -----
data:    Availability Sets            Count  16            2000 
data:    Total Regional Cores         Count  174           350  
data:    Virtual Machines             Count  58            10000
data:    Virtual Machine Scale Sets   Count  0             50   
data:    Standard A0-A7 Family Cores  Count  122           350  
data:    Basic A Family Cores         Count  4             350  
data:    Standard DS Family Cores     Count  48            350  
info:    vm list-usage command OK

This command simply does not work in ASM mode. Sounds accurate.

Use the PowerShell cmdlet Get-AzureRmVMUsage to see how many cores you have provisioned and what your limit is. Note that this cmdlet takes a mandatory Location parameter, because with ARM, you can have different limits for each resource type in each region.
