Azure Gov Cloud - API Management Consumption plan - ActivationFailed Error

Question

The API Management deployment fails with no apparent reason returning generic error:
Unable to activate API service at this time. This could be temporary issue in the region.

This happens in Government subscription, the API plan is consumption.

Here are some more details on the action and the error:

Hello Jacek Furtak,

Thanks for your question

As you posted, Consumption Tier is not available in Gov, I will recommend you consider switching to another available tier such as the Developer, Basic, Standard, or Premium tiers. These tiers are supported in the Azure Government Cloud.
