Unable to deploy sql flexible server

Sudeep Gangadharan 0

I'm unable to deploy a SQL flexible server. I keep getting the error :
{"code":"DeploymentFailed","target":"/subscriptions/7098da77-f7f8-4022-adc3-124dc67ef4ff/resourceGroups/bytepe-prod-rg/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/MySqlFlexibleServer_92790a80409b11f0b26babfa1eb118e5","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-deployment-operations for usage details.","details":[{"code":"ResourceDeploymentFailure","target":"/subscriptions/7098da77-f7f8-4022-adc3-124dc67ef4ff/resourceGroups/bytepe-prod-rg/providers/Microsoft.DBforMySQL/flexibleServers/bytepe-mysql-prod-server","message":"The resource write operation failed to complete successfully, because it reached terminal provisioning state 'Failed'."}]}

Is this a problem with my subscription?

Hello Sudeep Gangadharan,

Thanks for your question.

Firstly , access the Activity Log to identify any related events or operations that might have contributed to the failure.

Possible reasons may include Azure Policy which may be preventing the deployment to succeed.

Try deploying using CLI and let me know if you are still facing the same issue. This can be done in the CLI using the az mysql flexible-server create commandlet.

Hi @ Sudeep Gangadharan

Thank you for reaching out. I understand that you're experiencing issues deploying your SQL Flexible Server, with the deployment failing due to a terminal provisioning state error.

This issue may arise due to quota limitations, regional capacity constraints, or configuration mismatches.

Here are a few steps that might help resolve it:

Some regions may have limited capacity. If possible, try deploying the server in a different region.

Ensure that your subscription has the required quota available for deploying a Flexible Server.

If you're using Azure CLI or an ARM template, try deploying through the Azure Portal to rule out configuration issues.;

Please go through these parallel issues that might help you:

Hello folks,

I'm still getting the same error message. But when I looked for the error message I get the following :

{
    "status": "Failed",
    "error": {
        "code": "ProvisionNotSupportedForRegion",
        "message": "Provisioning in requested region is not supported."
    }
}

I'm trying to deploy "Azure Database for MySQL" on the region CentralIndia. I'm trying to deploy via the Azure Portal.

Another time i got this error:

{
    "status": "Failed",
    "error": {
        "code": "ProvisioningDisabled",
        "message": "Subscriptions are restricted from provisioning in this region. Please choose a different region. For exceptions to this rule please open a support request with Issue type of 'Service and subscription limits'."
    }
}

It fails for me irrespective which region I select, i have tried "US east" , "CentralIndia", "SouthIndia".

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Appreciate any help!

Hi Sudeep Gangadharan

You may be experiencing this error due to high demand for a dedicated Azure service in a specific region.

Sometimes the issue is not due to MySQL service quota limitations, but rather due to capacity constraints in the dependent compute resources (VMs) in the selected region (CentralIndia).

Resolutions:

Try provisioning in a different zone within the same region (if available).

Retry provisioning after some time, as capacity may become available.

Raise support request for quota as below.

Click the **Create a Support Request button ** at the top >> Enter quota in the search box and click Go >> Select Other / Service and Subscription Limits (Quotas) and click Next >> Click Create a Support Request again.

Select the issue type: Service and subscription limits (quotas), choose the subscription, quota type: Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server, click Next.

You will now be in the Additional Details tab. Click Enter details >> Select Region Access or Region Access with Zonal Dependency, select the desired ___location, enter the number of cores, click Save and continue.

Finish filling out the Additional Details tab, click Next, review, and click Create. You should receive an automated email within minutes.
