Deploy VM from azure cli failing

Question

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).

• Product issue tracking is on GitHub issue 21224
• I've provided more detailed information on the following Microsoft Q&A thread

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!
