I got a new Azure for Students account but unable to create a VM. Not allowed in any regions and tried several options (US East, US west 2 etc). Pl help on the next steps to create VM.

The error is :

I tried us east, us west 2.. all giving errors.. {"code":"InvalidTemplateDeployment","message":"The template deployment failed with multiple errors.

    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

    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.

    regions shown under Allowed resource deployment regions are not selectable when creating VM...
