A unified Azure platform for creating and managing AI models, agents, and applications with built‑in enterprise security, monitoring, and governance
Hello @indo flasher ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A .Thank you for reaching out to us.
The observed behavior indicates that the deployment is being successfully created but failing during provisioning, which typically suggests that the issue is occurring after the initial request is accepted.
This pattern is commonly associated with failures in the dependent service layer, especially the Azure Marketplace SaaS fulfillment process used by Anthropic-based deployments. In such cases:
- Deployment creation is accepted
- Capacity may be reserved
- However, provisioning fails before completion
- No underlying Microsoft.SaaS resource is created
This strongly suggests that the issue is occurring during the Marketplace subscription handshake or backend fulfillment step, rather than due to baseline configuration or deployment request issues.
Subscription eligibility or billing constraints affect this behavior as
Anthropic model deployments require:
- A paid Azure subscription with a valid payment method
- A supported billing country/region
- Azure Marketplace access enabled
- Deployment in supported regions (East US 2 or Sweden Central)
Certain subscription types are not supported (for example: CSP, student/free trial, or credit-only plans) and may block fulfillment even if deployment creation succeeds
Please check if the following steps help-
- Validating Marketplace and billing readiness
- Confirming the subscription is paid and active
- Ensuring Marketplace purchases are enabled
- Verifying no policy restrictions are blocking Marketplace transactions
- . Reviewing Activity Logs Check for failed operations related to:
- Microsoft.SaaS
- Marketplace fulfillment
- Purchase authorization or billing validation
- Validating deployment and region Ensure deployment is in:
- East US 2
- Sweden Central
- Checking SaaS resource creation
- Confirm whether a Microsoft.SaaS resource exists
- If absent, this strongly indicates Marketplace fulfillment failure
- Retrying with clean state
- Delete failed deployment
- Recreate using a new deployment name
- Optionally test in alternate supported region
