            What if I create a web app with a duplicate name as another one?
         answer: |
-            We cannot create a web app with a name that already exists in the Azure. The web app name is part of the web app's URL, so it must be unique among all Azure App Service web apps.

       - question: |
           How can I create an Azure App Service web app in a region that's unavailable in the subscription?
         answer: |
           Certain Azure regions require customers to go through a request process to gain access. For more information, see the [Azure region access request process](../general/region-access-request-process.md) and [Azure App Service available by region](https://azure.microsoft.com/global-infrastructure/services/?products=app-service&regions=all).

+          What if the requested SKU of the App Service plan isn't available in the resource group?
         answer: |
-          Your App Service deployments may not have specific SKUs available due to constraints (for example, the SKU isn't available in the region or country).

-          If the requested SKU isn't available in the Resource Group, you must create a new App Service Plan in a new Resource Group in the same region or in the same Resource Group using a different region.

-          If you want to reuse the same Resource Group and region, you must delete all the App Services, App Service Plans, and `Microsoft.Web/Certificates` resources in this Resource Group, then create the desired SKU in this Resource Group. Note that migrating App Services originating in this Resource Group to another Resource Group won't unblock the creation.

+      - question: |
+          I’m getting the following error - “This region has quota of 0 instances for your subscription. Try selecting a different region or SKU." You might also consistently experience resource creation issues in a particular region.
+        answer: |
+          This means your subscription has no available quota for the selected region. You have two options:
+
+          1. Create your web app in a different region. If possible, choose a geographically paired region for better resiliency and compliance. Examples include:
+
+          * *West US 2* ↔ *West Central US*
+          * *East Asia (Hong Kong SAR)* ↔ *Southeast Asia (Singapore)*
+
+          Each Azure region has unique characteristics that affect performance, availability, and regulatory requirements. Selecting the right region is critical for your workload. For more information, see:

+          * [Azure region pairs and nonpaired regions](/azure/reliability/regions-paired#azure-cross-region-replication-pairings-for-all-geographies)
+          * [Azure regions decision guide - Select Azure regions](/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/azure-setup-guide/regions)
+
+          2. Request additional quota for your App Service plan.
+
+          Use the [App Service quota self-service experience](https://portal.azure.com/?feature.customportal=false#view/Microsoft_Azure_Capacity/QuotaMenuBlade/~/overview) in the Azure portal. This provides a dedicated quota blade where you can:
+
+          * View current usage and limits across SKUs.
+          * Set custom quotas tailored to your plan.

-          If I delete all my web apps, will I still be charged?
+          If I delete all my web apps, am I still charged?

-          To stop all billing associated with your App Service, you need to delete the App Service Plan or scale the App Service Plan to the free tier. For more information, see [How much does my App Service Plan cost?](/azure/app-service/overview-hosting-plans#how-much-does-my-app-service-plan-cost) and [Plan and manage costs for Azure App Service](/azure/app-service/overview-manage-costs).

         answer: |
-          You would need minimum Contributor access on the Resource Group to deploy App Services. If you have Contributor access only on App Service Plan and web app, it won't allow you to create the app service in the Resource Group.

-         I'm trying to delete my App Service Plan, but I'm getting the following error "Storage usage quota exceeded. Can't update or delete a server farm.

         answer: |
-          During the deletion process, we calculate the usage of the remaining App Service Plans. If they are above the remaining limit, then this error appears.

-          The storage limit is the total content size across all apps in the same App Service Plan. The total content size of all apps across all App Service Plans in a single Resource Group and region can't exceed 500 GB. The file system quota for App Service hosted apps is determined by the aggregate of App Service Plans created in a region and Resource Group.
