Unable to create a container registry in a student subscription

Hey Wael, it looks like your student subscription has an Azure Policy assignment that restricts which regions you can deploy resources into which is why you’re getting Code “RequestDisallowedByAzure.” By default, student subscriptions only allow a handful of “best-available” regions. Here’s how you can move forward:

1. Check which regions are allowed in your subscription - In the Azure portal go to Policy > Assignments, look for an “Allowed locations” policy scoped to your subscription, and review its list of regions or run in Cloud Shell/CLI:

   •       az account list-locations --query "[].{Region:name, Enabled:metadata.regionType=='Physical'}" -o table
     

     (You may need to filter to the specific policy’s allowedLocations list.)
2. Pick one of those allowed regions when creating the registry For example, if “East US” is allowed:

      az group create --name myRG --location eastus
   

--resource-group myRG \ --name myUniqueAcrName
--sku Standard
--location eastus

1. If you truly need a region that isn’t in the allowed list You’ll have to contact Azure Support to have that policy scope adjusted or have a new policy assignment created that includes your desired region.

Reference links for creating a registry once you’ve chosen an allowed region:

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.

Hi @Wael Benslimene ,

please navigate in the Azure Portal to https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade.MenuView/~/Assignments/%23view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade/~/Assignments/undefined

Please check the following policy:

In the list you can verify which regions are allowed for deployments in your Azure Subscription:

In the "Parameter value" of "allowedLocations" are the available Azure regions listed for your resources.
