My subscription is restricted to certain regions. I need to either (a) enable West Europe, or (b) get a list of allowed regions so I can proceed with deployments

Hello

Thank you for reaching out and for sharing the detailed error information.

From the details provided, we understand that you are encountering the error "RequestDisallowedByAzure" while attempting to create resources in the West Europe region.

This behavior is expected for subscriptions such as Azure for Students, where deployments are restricted by Azure Policy to a predefined set of allowed regions. These restrictions are managed by Microsoft and cannot be modified at the subscription level.

Please note the following:

• The West Europe region is not included in the allowed regions for your current subscription.
• Due to these built-in policy limitations, resource creation (including Cloud Shell storage) in this region will be blocked.

Recommended next steps:

We recommend attempting deployment in other regions available in the Azure Portal (only supported regions will be listed during resource creation)

If you require access to specific regions such as West Europe, you may need to upgrade your subscription to a Pay-As-You-Go model. This will remove such region restrictions and provide full access to Azure services and regions.

You can upgrade your subscription from the Azure Portal by navigating to: Subscriptions → Select your subscription → UpgradeReference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/policy/overview

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any queries in comments

Hi,

Azure for Students restricts which regions you can deploy resources to. Typically you are restricted to five different regions, and these vary for each person.

Please navigate to Azure Policy -- Authoring -- Assignments using link below:

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade/~/Assignments

Click on assignment named Allowed resource deployment regions

Examine Allowed locations Parameter value for list of regions, similar to below (regions in screenshot are different than yours):

The regions shown in your Parameter value are the ones you are allowed to deploy resources to. Please try to create resources in one of these regions and let me know the results.
