How to fix deployment Location error while creating workspace

Question

I am unable to create new workspaces and getting "BatchARMResponseError: Resource 'testworkspace0670582342' was disallowed by Azure: This policy maintains a set of best available regions where your subscription can deploy resources. The objective of this policy is to ensure that your subscription has full access to Azure services with optimal performance. Should you need additional or different regions, contact support..". Even after registering for Microsoft.cdn and Microsoft.Policyinsights I am unable to solve this problem

Hi,

Azure for Students restricts which regions you can deploy resources to. Typically you are restricted to five different regions, and these vary for each person.

Please navigate to Azure Policy -- Authoring -- Assignments using link below:

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade/~/Assignments

Click on assignment named Allowed resource deployment regions

Examine Allowed locations Parameter value for list of regions, similar to below (regions in screenshot are different than yours):

The regions shown in your Parameter value are the ones you are allowed to deploy resources to. Please try to create resources in one of these regions and let me know the results.

Thanks.

To resolve the deployment location error you are encountering while creating a workspace in Azure, you can try the following steps:

1. Select an Alternative Region: Since the error indicates that your subscription is restricted to certain regions, consider deploying your workspace in a different Azure region that is available for your subscription.
2. Submit a Remediation Request: If you have a specific business need to deploy in the region you are trying to access, you can submit a remediation request to Microsoft support. This is appropriate if you already have resources in that region or if there is a clear requirement for data sovereignty. Follow these steps to submit a request:
   • Sign in to the Azure portal.
   • Navigate to the support section and create a support request.
   • Specify the issue related to region access and provide details about your subscription and the region you are trying to access.
3. Check Resource Availability: Ensure that the resource type you are trying to create is available in the region you are selecting. You can check the availability of Azure services by visiting the Azure products available by region page.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, consider reaching out to Azure support for further assistance.
