I need to create an Azure Synapse Analytics workspace to support report development for our D365 Commerce project that has just started. I've created a resource group and storage account, both in the EastUS region. But I am repeatedly getting the below error when trying to create and deploy the needed Azure Synapse Analytics workspace. This is slowing down our project and needs to be resolved. Thanks

{

"code": "ValidationFailed",

"message": "Workspace request validation failed, check error details for more information",

"details": [

{

  "code": "SqlServerRegionDoesNotAllowProvisioning",

  "message": "Location 'eastus' is not accepting creation of new Windows Azure SQL Database servers for the subscription '76a33d99-8300-490b-8976-94ab9c4359ef' at this time."

}

]

}

    The error message you are encountering indicates that the Azure SQL Database servers are not currently accepting new creations in the East US region for your subscription. This is a common issue that can occur due to resource limitations or regional restrictions imposed by Azure.

    To resolve this issue, you can consider the following options:

    1. Try a Different Region: If possible, attempt to create the Azure Synapse Analytics workspace in a different region where Azure SQL Database servers are available for provisioning.
    2. Check Subscription Limits: Ensure that your subscription has not reached any limits for resource provisioning in the East US region. You can check your subscription's quotas and limits in the Azure portal.
    3. Retry Later: Sometimes, the availability of resources can change. If you are not in a rush, you might try again after some time to see if the issue resolves itself.
    4. Contact Azure Support: If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Azure Support for assistance. They can provide specific insights related to your subscription and the current status of resource availability in the region.

    These steps should help you move forward with creating your Azure Synapse Analytics workspace.

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

    Thank you for your patience and for sharing the context around your deployment scenario. I completely understand how important it is for you to provision staging slots within the same region, and I realize the current limitation in the East US region is impacting your deployment.

    Currently, there’s no confirmed ETA for restoration of provisioning capabilities in East US region, but our engineering team is actively working on resolving the issue and restoring full functionality as soon as possible.

    If services cannot be created there right now, it unfortunately means you would need to consider relocating your entire deployment to a region where this functionality is fully supported.

    To ensure a smooth deployment, please avoid deploying in the East US region for now, including all dependent services, so we don’t run into any issues.
