My Azure for Students subscription cannot deploy any VM.

The policy “Allowed resource deployment regions” shows Effect = Deny and no allowed locations.

Please enable compute and region access (East US or West US 2).

This issue affects all regions and causes RequestDisallowedByAzure error.

    If your Azure for Students subscription is unable to deploy any VMs due to the policy "Allowed resource deployment regions" showing an effect of Deny with no allowed locations, you will need to update the Azure Policy to allow resource deployments in the desired regions. Here are the steps you can take:

    1. Sign in to the Azure portal: Go to the Azure Portal.
    2. Access Policies: In the top search bar, type "Policy" and select it.
    3. View Assignments: In the Policy blade, select Assignments from the left navigation.
    4. Locate the Policy: Find the policy assignment named "Allowed resource types" or similar that is denying your resource deployment.
    5. Edit the Policy: Select the policy, then choose Edit assignment.
    6. Update Parameters: Under Parameters, add the regions you want to allow (e.g., East US or West US 2).
    7. Save Changes: Select Save to apply the changes.
    8. Retry Deployment: Attempt to deploy the VM again after making these changes.

    If you continue to face issues, you may need to contact Azure support for further assistance, especially if there is a clear business need for deploying resources to specific regions.
