Failing to deploy CosmosDB in MS Learn Sandbox

Alessandro Vincenzi 36

Hello
following the learning path on server less applications, there is a section where you have to deploy an Azure App service to run functions and then a CosmosDB for further binding.

After activating the sandbox, the deployment of the CosmosDB fails with the following message:

{
&#34;code&#34;:&#34;DeploymentFailed&#34;,
&#34;message&#34;:&#34;At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/DeployOperations for usage details.&#34;,
&#34;details&#34;:[{&#34;code&#34;:&#34;BadRequest&#34;,&#34;message&#34;:&#34;{\r\n \&#34;code\&#34;: \&#34;BadRequest\&#34;,\r\n \&#34;message\&#34;: \&#34;Free tier has already been applied to another Azure Cosmos DB account in this subscription. To apply free tier to this account, you can select another subscription for this account or delete the existing free tier account. You can have up to one free tier account per subscription.\\r\\nActivityId: dc28344f-d509-488e-95f9-a9d89a8155ac, Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Common/2.10.0\&#34;\r\n}&#34;}]
}

The deployment fails with the error:

Free tier has already been applied to another Azure Cosmos DB account in this subscription.
To apply free tier to this account, you can select another subscription for this account or delete the existing free tier account.
You can have up to one free tier account per subscription.

The sandbox is brand new and there is nothing in the resource group except for the storage for the console provisioned by default.

Is there any workaround to get it deployed?

Sorry for the wrong tab. There is no way to use a new one. Only those predefined are usable.

Hello Alessandro,

Which region are you using ?

How long did you have the Cosmos DB database account?

Was this in the same subscription? Under the same Azure login?

Hoping to hear back from you.

Thanks.

Try selecting Apply Free Tier Discount to Do Not Apply. After changing this option in my sandbox account, the deployment error was gone for me

Using the "Do Not Apply" option for Free Tier worked for me as well. I thought perhaps Concierge subscription might not allow it but it worked.

Accepted answer

Waiting for the sandbox to expire and having to try again, "many many times" over four days does not sound like much of a resolution. As someone else mentioned, this seems to be more of an issue with the sandbox expiring and not cleaning everything up. So that when the next time we try to create a sandbox CosmosDB, it thinks one already exists. Hopefully MS comes up with a resolution that way we are not all spending days trying to get through a 39 min module.

man... well it's free I guess we couldn't expect 100% fail proof.
I'll try to get my other badges that don't require cosmos db deployment

Hi, I'm having the exact same issue.

A screenshot of my activity-log indicates that it fails during the Deployment step. It was a brand new sandbox-env.

Hi Folks, not sure if it will work for others but i noticed, that for some reason there can be multiple Concierge Subscriptions then depending on this pick the resource group
Dont know why these are not cleared...

}

Tried using another sandbox, but the issue didn't go away.

Unable to complete the Microsoft learn modules because of this error.

Tried creating the Cosmos DB in other regions and still have the same problem.

Can't progress on the Microsoft Learn website because of this issue.
