Azure for Students Subscription - Unable to create Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server

Question

I have been attempting to create a Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server for my assignment but I am unable to do so due to the below error. I have tried multiple regions but I am unable to get a successful deployment.

"code": "ProvisioningDisabled",
        "message": "Subscriptions are restricted from provisioning in this region. Please choose a different region. For exceptions to this rule please open a support request with Issue type of 'Service and subscription limits'."

Answer 1

Hello Miguel Zepeda,

Thank you for posting your query in the Microsoft Q&A Community.

Please be informed that some services are not available in all regions for some types of subscriptions. You can try creating the resource in another region. A good example will be East US.

If this doesnt work for you, kindly follow steps as explained on this page to raise a support request https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/quota-increase-request?view=azuresql

Let me know if further assistance is needed.

@Miguel Zepeda Thank you for clarifying that you’re using an Azure for Students subscription. These subscriptions have certain limitations and restrictions compared to regular Azure subscriptions

As suggested by the error message, try selecting a different region for your deployment. Some regions may have restrictions due to capacity or other factors.

see also, Azure Program regions

Azure Program offerings (Azure Pass, Imagine, Azure for Students, MPN, BizSpark, BizSpark Plus, Microsoft for Startups / Sponsorship Offers, Microsoft Developer Network(MSDN) / Visual Studio Subscriptions) have access to a limited set of regions.

If your subscription is part of above offerings and you require access to any of the listed regions, submit an access request. Alternatively, you might opt for an alternate region:

Australia Central, Australia Central 2, Australia SouthEast, Brazil SouthEast, Canada East, China East, China North, China North 2, France South, Germany North, Japan West, Jio India Central, Jio India West, Korea South, Norway West, South Africa West, South India, Switzerland West, UAE Central, UK West, US DoD Central, US DoD East, US Gov Arizona, US Gov Texas, West Central US, West India.

Your subscription might not have access to create a server in the selected region. To resolve this issue, file a support request to access a region.

If you see the following errors, file a support ticket to enable the specific region:

• Subscription 'Subscription name' is not allowed to provision in 'region name
• Subscriptions are restricted from provisioning in this region. Please choose a different region. For exceptions to this rule please open a support request with the Issue type of 'Service and subscription limits.

Please do let us know if that helps.
