I am using a Student account. I am receiving errors like:

{

"code": "InvalidTemplateDeployment",

"message": "The template deployment failed with multiple errors. Please see details for more information.",

"details": [

{

"code": "RequestDisallowedByAzure",

"target": "aimlops6469568300",

},

}

]

}

Everytime I try to create a resource group. You must create an Azure ML workspace in the same region as the Compute Target (or so the help text says next to "Region.").
After creating a resource group in the region in which my account was created, and then receiving an error trying to create the Azure ML Workspace, I tried a brute force approach.

I created Resource Groups in every US region. For every US region, I tried to create an Azure ML Workspaces with a Resource Group in the same workspace. The errors are always in the same format as above. Please help.

    Hi Andreas,
    The error you are seeing is a built-in restriction on student subscriptions enforcing regional limits on your student account.

    To Check Which Regions Are Allowed for You use the bellow command in azure CLI:

    az account list-locations --query "[?metadata.regionCategory=='Recommended'].name" -o table
    

    Please try deploying your Azure Machine Learning workspace in one of the listed regions.

    Feel free to accept this as an answer.
    Thankyou for reaching out to The Microsoft QNA Portal.
