Hi Team,

I'm trying to create Azure Synapse Workspace with my free trial subscription. It is failing with the error message.
{"code":"ValidationFailed","message":"Workspace request validation failed, check error details for more information","details":[{"code":"SqlServerRegionDoesNotAllowProvisioning","message":"Location 'southindia' is not accepting creation of new Windows Azure SQL Database servers for the subscription '71117045-24ef-4386-a7df-14c6bc31dfdb' at this time."}]}

I tried following Work arounds for successfull deployment but still the same issue

  1. Changed the region to East US and Australia still the issue persists
  2. Tried unregistering and register from subscription > Resource providers > Register Microsoft.SQL and tried again after successful registration of Microsoft.sql still the issue persists.

I can still see free trial has more than 16k+credits. Attaching the screenshot

    Hi @Venkata Phani Pavan Kumar

    You're encountering a known limitation with Free Trial subscriptions in Azure. The error you're seeing means your subscription is blocked from creating required resources like SQL Database servers in those regions  a common restriction for Free Trial and some sponsored or limited subscriptions.

    Code: SqlServerRegionDoesNotAllowProvisioning
Message: Location '<region>' is not accepting creation of new Windows Azure SQL Database servers for the subscription '<subscription-id>' at this time.

    As @Nandan Hegde mentioned  

    You can try creating a logical SQL server in a region different from those you've already attempted. If the SQL server is successfully created, then try deploying the Synapse workspace in the same region.

    The most reliable solution is to upgrade your Azure subscription to Pay-As-You-Go. You can do this by clicking the “Upgrade” option in your subscription settings. This change retains your free credits while removing many of the restrictions associated with the free trial.

    Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
