I have a student account which does not allow any resources to be created. Is the AWS dns issue affecting Azure?

I cannot create ANY resources I have tried - VMs, database, storage account. Validation fails everytime. I can't access technical support - because student accounts come with no service plan. And yes I created a resource group - and know what I'm doing. Anyone have any suggestions.

    Hi Sonia,

    Are you deploying to one of your approved regions?

    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.

    Thanks.
