For standby pools to successfully create and manage resources, it requires access to the associated resources in your subscription. Ensure the correct permissions are assigned to the standby pool resource provider in order for your standby pool to function properly. For detailed instructions, see configure role permissions for standby pools.

This article discusses how to retrieve information about your standby pool and the container groups within it.
