"Resource 'poornadatalake' was disallowed by Azure: This policy maintains a set of best available regions where your subscription can deploy resources. The objective of this policy is to ensure that your subscription has full access to Azure services with optimal performance. Should you need additional or different regions, contact support.. (Code: RequestDisallowedByAzure, Target: poornadatalake)

Hi poornalakshmi Vangapandu,

Thanks for reaching out in Microsoft Q&A forum,

Azure for Students accounts limit the regions where you can deploy resources. Usually, each student is allowed access to about five regions, and these can differ from one user to another.

The error message “RequestDisallowedByAzure” indicates that the resources you're trying to deploy are blocked due to a policy restricting the Azure regions where your subscription can create resources.

Please go to Azure Policy → Authoring → Assignments using the link provided below:

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade/%7E/Assignments

• Click on assignment named Allowed resource deployment regions
• Review the Allowed locations parameter to see which regions are permitted for your subscription. It should show a list of regions.
• The regions listed in your Parameter value represent the locations you are permitted to deploy resources to. Please try creating a resource in one of those allowed regions.

Allowed regions depend on:

• Datacenter capacity
• Local compliance rules
• Microsoft’s allocation for free-tier accounts

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
