Hi,

Azure for Students restricts which regions you can deploy resources to. Typically you are restricted to five different regions, and these vary for each person.

Please navigate to Azure Policy -- Authoring -- Assignments using link below:

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade/~/Assignments

Click on assignment named Allowed resource deployment regions

Examine Allowed locations Parameter value for list of regions, similar to below (regions in screenshot are different than yours):

The regions shown in your Parameter value are the ones you are allowed to deploy resources to. Please try to create resources in one of these regions and let me know the results.

Hello shubhradip saha

It looks like you're facing an issue with creating a storage account due to Azure policy restrictions. The error indicates that the region you are trying to use is disallowed by an Azure policy for your subscription.

Here’s what you can do to troubleshoot this:

1. Check Your Subscription's Policy: Verify the Azure policy that is applied to your subscription. This policy might restrict the regions available for resource deployment. You can find more about Azure policies
2. Choose a Different Region: As the message states, you should consider creating the storage account in a different region that is allowed by your policy. Make sure to check which regions are available to you within your subscription type (in your case as a student account).
3. Check Your Permissions: Ensure that your account has the necessary permissions to create resources in the selected region. You can use Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to check your role assignments. Check the reference link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/overview
4. Using PowerShell/CLI: If you encounter issues with the Portal, you may also try creating the storage account using PowerShell or the Azure CLI.
5. For PowerShell, you can find the necessary commands in the document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-create?tabs=azure-powershell
