Deploy VM from azure cli failing

Hi All,

I'm running into a very strange issue. I was able to successfully deploy VMs using Azure cli for a while. The command I'm using is:

az vm create --name <vm name> --resource-group <resource group> --image <image urn> --public-ip-sku Standard

I have not changed anything but recently I have been getting deployment failures running the same command that use to succeed. The failure message I would get is:

{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/DeployOperations for usage details.","details":[{"code":"BadRequest","message":"'VMCustomization' is not enabled for the Subscription. Please register the Subscription for 'Microsoft.Compute/VMCustomizationPreview' to use the feature."}]}

The error message seems to be telling me to register for VMCustomizationPreview feature which I can't find when going to Subscriptions -> Preview features. Has anyone run into this and found a solution? I'm using azure cli version 2.33.0 if that matters. Thanks.

    Hello, @Kyle Le !

    This is a known issue for Azure CLI version 1.33.0 which is currently being worked on (you can use az --version to check your current Azure CLI version). The temporary workaround is to revert to an older version of the Azure CLI (steps have been included in the links below).

    Description

    Error: 

    'VMCustomization' is not enabled for the Subscription. Please register the Subscription for 'Microsoft.Compute/VMCustomizationPreview' to use the feature.

    Using version 2.33.0 of the Azure CLI (az --version), you will get the VM Customization error:

    Using 2.32.0 of the Azure CLI the command executes successfully:

    This is now resolved for MS Learn Module

    One your Active Sandbox Try Running

    Install-Module -Name Az.Compute -RequiredVersion 4.24.1

    OR

    Install-Module -Name Az.Compute -RequiredVersion 4.25

    Then

    Pwsh

    That starts a new powershell session

    New-AzVm -ResourceGroupName learn-d2a8d1e3-0259-4d64-a7ec-8348a719b240 -Name "testvm-eus-01" -Credential (Get-Credential) -Location "East US" -Image UbuntuLTS -OpenPorts 22 -PublicIpAddressName "testvm-01"

    will work successfully now!
