    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

    User's image

    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.

    Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.

    Thanks.

    Hello @Gopi Sankar,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & hope you are doing well.

    I understand your question about not being able to create a storage account in Azure. The RequestDisallowedByAzure error indicates that your subscription has a policy restricting resource creation to specific “best available” regions.

    This policy is generally referred to as “Allowed resource deployment regions” or “Allowed locations” in Azure Policy. Attempting to create a resource in a region not included in the list will result in a deployment failure and this error message.

    Verify which regions have authorization

    ·       In the Azure Portal, go to Policy > Assignments and look for Allowed locations.

    ·       Open the assignment → Parameters tab to see the list of approved regions.

    Attempt the deployment again in a permitted region

    Create the storage account again in one of the allowed regions. For example, if East US or West Europe are permitted, choose one of these regions when deploying.

    You can Create storage account by following the below link: Create an Azure storage account - Azure Storage | Microsoft Learn

    Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
