If you reach the cores limit for your subscription, you can request a core limit increase (sometimes called an increase in capacity, or a quota increase) to continue using Azure Lab Services. The request process allows the Azure Lab Services team to ensure your subscription isn't involved in any cases of fraud or unintentional, sudden large-scale deployments.

This article describes how to collect the information and how to submit a support request for increasing the number of cores for Azure Lab Services in your Azure subscription.
