Can't create a new Azure Front Door Profile

Question

Can't create a new Azure Front Door Profile

Blackbucks Education 0

Hello everyone.

So, this is our new Azure account and we have not yet done the first payment. (We are using the new account credits - ₹15K credits). When we went to create a new Front Door Profile, it says Quota reached. But this is our first Front Door Profile and there is no other profiles in Front Door in our account. It seems the Front Door Profile limit is "0" for new accounts.

We have few questions and doubts regarding this:

Is the quota "0" for new accounts before First payment ?
If that so, then can we request for quota increase to at least 1 Profile before first billing ?
If we don't fully exhaust the credits this month and our billing is covered within our credits, then is that considered first billing and will the quotas increase or else we have to pay money after exhausting credits?
If we pay 100$ for Azure Support, then is that considered as first payment and will our quotas get increased?

Register the Required Resource Provider

Problem: Microsoft.Cdn resource provider is not registered.

Solution: Run the following command:

az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Cdn

Then verify:

az provider show --namespace Microsoft.Cdn --query "registrationState"

Ensure it says "Registered" before retrying.

Check and Change Subscription Type (if needed)

Problem: You're on a restricted subscription (e.g., Free Trial, Dev/Test).

Solution:

Go to Azure Portal > Subscriptions

Check if it's a Pay-As-You-Go, MSDN, or Enterprise.

If not, create a new Pay-As-You-Go subscription or contact support to upgrade.

Assign Proper Permissions

Problem: Your account lacks Contributor/Owner permissions.

Solution: Go to: Azure Portal > Subscriptions > [Your Subscription] > Access control (IAM)

Assign yourself:

Contributor role (minimum)

Or use CLI:

az role assignment create --assignee <your-email> --role "Contributor" --scope /subscriptions/<your-subscription-id>

Choose a Supported Region

Problem: Front Door is only deployable to the Global region.

Solution: When creating the Front Door profile, make sure to set:

Region = Global (not East US, West Europe, etc.)

In CLI:

az network front-door profile create \

--name My Front door \

--resource-group My Resource Group \

--sku Standard_AzureFrontDoor \

--location global

Hi @Blackbucks Education

New Azure accounts using only free credits or operating under a Free Trial are often subject to specific service restrictions, potentially including a zero quota for resources like Azure Front Door. Please refer the document.
These free tier subscriptions are explicitly ineligible for requesting quota increases for any service. Please refer the document.

Upgrading the subscription to a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) model is a mandatory prerequisite for requesting any quota increase. See, Azure subscription and service limits, quotas, and constraints.

Even after upgrading to PAYG, full access to services or standard quotas might be delayed until the account establishes a "payment history," which likely requires the first successful monetary transaction rather than just having a bill covered by credits. Please refer the similar thread.

Purchasing an Azure Support plan is a separate transaction for support services and does not constitute a "first payment" for resource consumption, nor does it automatically lift resource quotas or bypass eligibility requirements. Please refer the document.

I hope this has been helpful!
