Azure CLI – az deployment group create – SubscriptionNotAuthorizedForImage Error

Posted By: Anonymous

In Azure when deploying via ‘az deployment group create’ I get an error since a few days.

The ressource group is created in ‘West Europe’ – Region

Here is my command:

az deployment group create --resource-group rg-UITest-$(Build.BuildId) --template-file WorkingCopy/hook/AzureDevOps/e5_setupvm_template.json --parameters WorkingCopy/hook/AzureDevOps/e5_setupvm_parameters.json --parameters adminPassword=$env:PASSWORD_FOR_VIRTUALMACHINE

With debug Flag I get the following information

2021-06-01T08:49:28.2629276Z DEBUG: cli.azure.cli.core.sdk.policies: Response content:
2021-06-01T08:49:28.2630595Z DEBUG: cli.azure.cli.core.sdk.policies: {"status":"Failed","error":{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed.

Here is the template.json imageReference:

                    "imageReference": {
                        "publisher": "MicrosoftWindowsDesktop",
                        "offer": "Windows-10",
                        "sku": "rs5-pro",
                        "version": "latest"
                    }

Just a few days ago it still worked. I am not sure what has changed or what the problem is.

Solution

Its Normal this image is no logger available,
When having this type of issue try to create it via the web interface as you will have the available SKU

Note : the listed image via az command is not always up to date
az vm image list-skus --location 'westeurope' --offer 'Windows-10' --publisher 'MicrosoftWindowsDesktop'

Better use

  source_image_reference {
    publisher = "MicrosoftWindowsDesktop"
    offer     = "Windows-10"
    version   = "latest"
    sku       = "20h2-pro"
  }
