Capacity Planning Dashboard

Azure capacity visibility, quota management, and placement scoring for platform teams.

The Capacity Planning Dashboard gives you a single pane of glass over Azure VM capacity across subscriptions and regions — so you can see where capacity is healthy, where it's constrained, and act on it before your workloads feel the impact.

What it does

Capability Description
Capacity Explorer Browse VM SKU availability by region, family, and subscription. Filter, sort, and export to Excel.
Quota Workbench Discover quota headroom across management groups, simulate increases, and submit quota requests to ARM.
Placement Scoring Score candidate VM placements based on live availability. Helps pick regions with the most headroom.
AI Model Catalog Track Azure AI model availability and provider quota across regions.
Ingestion Pipeline Scheduled ARM data ingestion into SQL — VM capacity, AI quotas, and model catalog.
Admin Panel Trigger ingestion, view error logs, inspect SQL objects, and manage UI settings.
