I'm currently running an Ubuntu LTS 24.04 instance on AWS EC2 that utilizes an Nvidia T4 GPU for inferencing with Python and YOLO. I'm looking to migrate this application over to Azure but am struggling to get an affordable instance approved on my Microsoft subscription. I'm trying to allocate an instance in the US East region, specifically the NC4as_T4_V3 or NC8as_T4_V3 types, which are priced between $383 and $548 per month. Whenever I request a quota increase, it seems to hang for a moment before getting rejected. Could you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

When your quota increase request gets rejected, it usually means you need to raise a case with Microsoft for a manual review of your request. Have you done that yet? Just a heads up, GPU-enabled VMs are in high demand right now, so Microsoft is likely being conservative with their availability.
I did open a ticket, but I got a reply telling me to use a non-GPU instance because of high demand. They suggested checking out alternative VM types instead.
