 # Capacity limits in Azure Lab Services
 
 Azure Lab Services has default capacity limits on Azure subscriptions that adhere to Azure Compute quota limitations and to mitigate fraud. All Azure subscriptions will have an initial capacity limit, which can vary based on subscription type, number of standard compute cores, and GPU cores available inside Azure Lab Services. It restricts how many virtual machines you can create inside your lab before you need to request for a limit increase.

-Azure Lab Services hosts lab resources, including VMs, within special Microsoft-managed Azure subscriptions that aren’t visible to customers.  With the [April 2022 Update (preview)](lab-services-whats-new.md), VM capacity is dedicated to each customer.

 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 location. Requesting capacity before lab creation 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.

 ## Lab plans
 
 Lab plans are an Azure resource and contain settings used when creating new labs.  Lab plans control the networking setup, which VM images are available and if [Canvas integration](lab-services-within-canvas-overview.md) can be used for a lab.
