Can't select allowed region for static web app launch

Question

Hello, I'm trying to launch a static web app. And I get this error: Resource 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.

I am allowed in Sweden Central where I would love to put my webpage but I cannot select it anywhere. I tried also through the Azure webpage but there too I can only select these 5 servers which are not supported.

Hi,

Unfortunately Static Web Apps only allow you to select from five different regions, and if none of those five are in the list of allowed regions for your Azure for Students subscription, you can't deploy.

What you can consider is deploying to Azure App Services instead. You will need to deploy to one of your five allowed regions.

To find your list of allowed regions, 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. An alternative to the above would be to upgrade your subscription to Pay-as-you-Go.

Thanks.
