Request Azure backend quota#
After the workspace is created, the next step is to request the computation resource quota for the workspace. The SeqsLab workspace uses Azure Batch as the backend computation management service on Azure.
The Batch account is deployed in Batch service mode by default. The global administrator needs to request for the computation quota to ensure that the batch account has sufficient computation resources.
The following are the recommended resource quotas for common scenarios:
Staging or small-scale production testing
Item
Quota
Low-priority VMs
1,000
Dv2-series VMs
1,000
NCv3-series VMs
300
Active jobs and job schedules per Batch account
100
Pools per Batch account
100
Public IP addresses
Basic: 100 / Standard: 100
Note
Up to 2,300 CPU cores and 50 NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPU cards can be allocated as 100 distinct batch clusters simultaneously.

For other use cases, such as when conducting an extra large population cohort study workflow or GPU intensive workflows, contact SeqsLab support for a detailed computation scaling consultation.
To request a quota increase on Azure(
