My Azure for students doesn't deploy any storage.

Hi Ayush Upadhyay,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A and thanks for posting your query here!The "RequestDisallowedByAzure" error when deploying resources like Cloud Shell, VMs, or storage accounts in your Azure for Students subscription is commonly caused by region restrictions set by Azure policies specific to your subscription type.

Why this happens:

Azure for Students subscriptions have limitations on which regions you can deploy resources to. You are typically restricted to a set of allowed regions configured through Azure Policy assignments. These allowed regions may vary per user and subscription and are generally limited to ensure compliance, optimal service availability, and resource governance.

Because of this, trying to deploy resources in regions not on your allowed list (e.g., Central India or West Europe unless explicitly allowed) will fail with such an error.

Step-by-step: What to do

1. Check which regions are allowed for your subscription

1. Go to the Azure Portal and sign in with your student subscription.
2. Navigate to Subscriptions → [your subscription] → Policies (or Azure Policy). Or directly: Azure Policy Assignments
3. In the list of policy assignments, look for one named something like “Allowed resource deployment regions” or “Allowed locations”.
4. Click into that assignment and view its Parameters section. It should list the regions that your subscription is allowed to deploy into.
5. Note down those regions.

2. Try deploying into one of those allowed regions:

• When you create a resource (Storage account, VM, etc.), pick one of the allowed regions from your list.
• If the deployment succeeds there, you know you’re well.
• If it still fails (even for a region on the allowed list), check if the service supports that region (sometimes certain services aren’t enabled in all allowed regions) or there may be quota/capacity constraints.

. 3.Consider upgrading your subscription

• If you foresee needing many resources across many regions, or need access to a region not allowed under your student plan, upgrading to a non-student subscription removes this particular region-policy restriction.
• Before upgrading, check costs and confirm which regions your needed services support.

i hope this helps, please feel free to let me know if you have any questions on this!

if this response helps clarify your query, kindly consider accepting the answer so others can benefit as well.
