Our external developer is trying to create Kubernetes cluster in Connectivity subscription resource group rg_gren.com. He is getting below error:

What could be reason for that?

"code": "MultipleErrorsOccurred",
  "message": "Multiple error occurred: NotFound,NotFound. Please see details.",
  "details": [

Answer 1

Hi @ADM Jukka Lamminpää,

It seems the developer is not setting the subscription, or he does not have enough permission.

Make sure the developer runs: az account set --subscription <subID>

Then try to list the resource groups to make sure the resource group is there, using:
az group list -o table

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Hello @ADM Jukka Lamminpää!

Thank you for raising the question.

DefaultResourceGroup-<region> are default resource groups that appear in each subscription.

The most encountered scenario I personally met, is when you create the AKS cluster with monitoring addon enabled, it will need a Log Analytics Workspace that is part of DefaultResourceGroup-<region>. The same would apply if you would enable Microsoft Defender for Containers.

If you are creating the AKS cluster with monitoring addon enabled or with Microsoft Defender for Containers enabled, I would recommend you to re-create 'DefaultResourceGroup-NEU' or specify another Log Analytics Workspace during the AKS cluster creation.

If your external developer is not creating the AKS cluster with monitoring addon enabled or with Microsoft Defender for Containers enabled, please let me know the parameters used to create the AKS cluster (make sure NOT to share any confidential information).

Hi @ADM Jukka Lamminpää,

If I understood correctly your external team is trying to deploy AKS and is getting the error mentioned above. This issue is more related to permission. Could you please give the right permission to your external user (can be at subscription level or maybe some resource group) so they can deploy the AKS.

Hope this helps. Please "Accept as Answer" if it helped, so that it can help others in the community looking for help on similar topics.
