Bastion deployment fails and no option to specify which subscription to use

kannan j 1

Attempting to create a Bastion connection to connect to my VM always fails with the error

{ "shellProps": { "sessionId": "a33430777bd34fe99ce0b903aac434c2", "extName": "HubsExtension", "contentName": "ResourceMenuBlade", "resourceId": "/subscriptions/6efaa2c1-f22d-44e3-812d-984f7a7f1064/resourceGroups/walkingCorpse_group/providers/Microsoft.Network/bastionHosts/walkingCorpseVNet-bastion" }, "error": { "message": "Resource not found", "code": 404, "details": { "htmlTemplate": "The resource was not found, it may have been deleted. If this was launched from a pinned tile on the dashboard, it should be removed. Resource ID: /subscriptions/6efaa2c1-f22d-44e3-812d-984f7a7f1064/resourceGroups/walkingCorpse_group/providers/Microsoft.Network/bastionHosts/walkingCorpseVNet-bastion Status Code: 404 Status Message: The Resource 'Microsoft.Network/bastionHosts/walkingCorpseVNet-bastion' under resource group 'walkingCorpse_group' was not found. For more details please go to https://aka.ms/ARMResourceNotFoundFix" } }}

I have created a subscription using my credit card but there is no option to specify that the Bastion should use my subscription instead of the Free trial, if that is the cause of the problem. If something else is the issue, what is it?

Hi @kannan j ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.
I understand that you are not able to connect to a VM using Azure Bastion.

By the error message, it appears your bastion resource was deployed in to the subscription, "6efaa2c1-f22d-44e3-812d-984f7a7f1064".

I am not sure why you are referencing two subscriptions here.

Can you please confirm if the Bastion and Azure VM are in the same subscription?

Or, are they in the same VNet?

Or, are they in two different VNets but these VNets are peered together.

As long as the above two conditions are met, you should be able to connect to the VM using your bastion resource.

Can you please elaborate why you have mentioned two subscriptions.
Also, by the looks of the error message, it appears as if the bastion resource has been deleted. Can you confirm if the bastion resource is still intact?

Awaiting your response.

Cheers,
Kapil

My VM was created before I activated my paid subscription. Is that the cause of the problem?

Hi @kannan j ,

Ideally, this should not be the case.

Can you let us know if this was previously working before upgrading your subscription?

Also, I would appreciate if you could help with the below.

Can you navigate to Azure Portal and check if Bastion is still intact and not in a failed state?

Can you please confirm if the Bastion and Azure VM are in the same subscription?

Or, are they in the same VNet?

Or, are they in two different VNets but these VNets are peered together.

Cheers,

The Bastion never gets created successfully, as it fails with the Failed to Deploy error, there is no bastion connection existing currently.
The Bastion that I tried to create and the Azure VM are in the same subscription and in the same VNet.

Hi @kannan j ,

To troubleshoot the exact issue, I think we will need a specialized 1:1 session, where a support engineer can have a screen share session to pinpoint the issue. If you have a support plan you may file a support ticket, else please do let us know, we will try and help you get a one-time free technical support.

Cheers,
Kapil
