How to fix 'Deployment validation failed' to create a quantum workspace

I have an Azure for Students subscription. The 'Allowed resource deployment regions' policy restricts me to [malaysiawest, austriaeast, centralindia, southeastasia, koreacentral]. However, when I try to create an Azure Quantum Workspace, the only available regions offered are [East US, North Europe, West Europe, West US]. There is no overlap. How can I create an Azure Quantum Workspace to use my student credits?

    Hi Madhan S,

    The “Deployment validation failed” error occurs because your Azure for Students subscription is restricted by an “Allowed resource deployment regions” policy. As you mentioned, your subscription only permits deployments in these regions: malaysiawest, austriaeast, centralindia, southeastasia, koreacentral

    However, Azure Quantum Workspaces are supported only in: East US, North Europe, West Europe, West US

    Since there’s no overlap between your allowed and supported regions, the deployment fails during validation.

    Unfortunately, Azure for Students subscriptions cannot be modified to include additional regions. To create Azure Quantum, you have two options:

    1.Upgrade to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription this removes regional restrictions and allows deployment in Quantum-supported regions.

    2.If you require access to regions outside your current allowed list and prefer to continue using your existing subscription, please contact Azure Support for further assistance or to explore available options.
