Can not create new Notification Hubs/Namespaces via Portal or CLI

Question

I have been trying all day to create a new Notification Hub & Namespace, both using the CLI and Azure Portal. Every time (except once), they always fail. When I do az notification-hub namespace show, the "provisioningState": "Failed" is always returned. In the Portal UI, the Location is also empty. I can't use the Portal to change anything (get 404 errors when I try to save). I try to delete the incomplete resource, and it seems to go away, but within 5 minutes later, it suddenly shows back up in my resource group (so I can't actually delete them).

Is there some service issue going on? I've tried multiple resource groups, multiple subscripts, different Azure accounts--all with the same result.

Answer 1

Thank you for the reply. When I tried again this morning, doing the exact same steps (our build server failed, along with manual processes) and everything started working. So I will chalk this up as an issue on the Azure side yesterday since it was across user accounts, subscriptions, regions and tool chains. The same exact steps that failed yesterday are now working today.

So, we can consider this resolved. It is unfortunate we don't know what truly happened, and I still have zombie Notification Hub Namespaces that I can't delete (since they were corrupted during the creation process it seems). I delete them, and within 5 or so minutes they reappear. I delete the resource group they are part of, and they and the resource group reappear. I've tried deleting from CLI and Portal with same result. Oh well, that is less of a concern.
