OperationFailed when creating a Azure Manage Redis resource

I'm trying to create a Azure Managed Redis resource via the Azure Portal and it is failing with the following error:

{
    "status": "Failed",
    "error": {
        "code": "OperationFailed",
        "message": "The operation failed."
    }
}

In the Activity Log page I see this information about the operation that failed:

  • Operation name: Manage Redis Enterprise cache (write)
  • Error code: ResourceOperationFailure
  • Message: The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.
Azure Cache for Redis
Azure Cache for Redis

An Azure service that provides access to a secure, dedicated Redis cache, managed by Microsoft.

Hi @Miguel Silva
Thankyou for reaching microsoft Q&A!
OperationFailed with ResourceOperationFailure is a generic provisioning error and, by itself, does not indicate the root cause.

Please check the following:

  1. Verify whether the selected subscription, region, and SKU are supported and have available capacity. Resource creation can fail if the chosen region is experiencing capacity constraints.
  2. Review the Deployment details from the failed deployment (Resource Group > Deployments) for a more specific error message.
  3. Check if there are any Azure Policy, RBAC permission restrictions, or quota limits applied to the subscription.
  4. Try creating the Azure Managed Redis resource in a different supported region to rule out a regional capacity issue.
  5. If the issue persists, please share:
  • Subscription ID (do not post publicly; share privately if requested)
  • Resource Group name
  • Target region
    • Selected SKU/tier
    • Correlation ID and timestamp from the failed Activity Log entry in private message.

If the deployment continues to fail across multiple regions and configurations, a backend investigation by Microsoft Support may be required, as the generic OperationFailed error does not provide enough information to identify the underlying cause.
