If you reach the cores limit, you can request a limit increase to continue using Azure Lab Services. The request process is a checkpoint to ensure your subscription is not involved in any cases of fraud or unintentional, sudden large-scale deployments.

Before you set up a large number of VMs across your labs, we recommend that you open a support ticket to pre-request VM capacity. Requests should include VM size, number, and region. Pre-requesting capacity helps us to ensure that you create your labs in a region that has a sufficient number of VM cores for the VM size that you need for your labs. We can now assign VM capacity on a per-customer basis when you submit a support ticket to request capacity.
