Issue with ARM template deploy

Question

Hello,

I am trying to deploy an ARM template exported from another resource group. But it keeps failing with the error that it conflicts with another deployment that is pending.

The 'Performing deployment' operation conflicts with the pending '' operation started at 2024-12-03T13:53:48.6873798Z. Please retry operation later.

But nothing is pending?

Hi @Mohammad Iqbal
Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
1.Check for Pending Deployments Go to the Resource Group and check the Deployments section. Look for any deployments marked as "In Progress" or failures.

2.If you find any deployments that are stuck, cancel them. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/deployment-history?tabs=azure-portal

3.Ensure no resources in the group have locks preventing changes. You can check for locks under the Locks section of your resource group. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/lock-resources?tabs=json

4.Sometimes, internal delays cause conflicts. Wait a few minutes and then retry the ARM template deployment.
Azure CLI:

az deployment group list --resource-group <YourResourceGroup>

Azure PowerShell:

 Get-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName <YourResourceGroup> 

5.If there are any deployments in progress, consider canceling them. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/manage-resource-groups-cli

6.Make sure no other operations (such as scaling or manual updates) are running concurrently within the same resource group.

7.Review the Activity Log in the Azure Portal for any failed provisioning attempts or ongoing operations.
