- Directory Role - Global Administrator – when activating IncrediBuild Cloud, you need to sign into your Azure account with a Directory Role of Global Administrator. If you do not have a user with such a role, assign this role to an existing user or create a new user:

Setting the Core Quota of an Azure Region
During the solution activation procedure, you need to specify the Azure region on which the pool and additional Helper VMs will be created. By default, each Azure region has a quota limit to the number of cores that can be used by the VMs that run on it. If this quota limit is lower than the number of cores you want to use for executing tasks on the cloud, you need to increase in advance this quota. The quota increase is done at the subscription level, by sending a request to Azure support via Azure portal.
The VMs that are created by IncrediBuild Cloud for your task execution belong to the Standard BS Family. Therefore, when searching for the current quota limit of your selected region, you need to look for the quota of this type of VMs. By default, the quota limit of the Standard BS Family vCPUs is 10 cores. It is recommended to increase the quota of these VMs to at least the number of cores you want to allocate for executing your tasks on the cloud.
