AnotherOperationInProgress 🔷 Azure

Conflict: AnotherOperationInProgress — Another operation is in progress on the resource

Azure is still processing a previous change on the same resource, so new operations are rejected until it finishes.

Seen on: Azure

Meaning

AKS upgrades/scales, VNet updates, App Gateway changes and parallel Terraform/pipeline runs often collide. Wait for the running operation or check its status.

Common causes

  • Previous update still running (scale, upgrade, deployment)
  • Parallel pipelines changing the same resource
  • Stuck operation on the resource

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Wait and retry
  2. Check provisioningState / activity log
  3. Serialise deployments in CI

Detailed fix by platform

Azure CLI

  1. bash
    az aks show -g rg -n aks1 --query provisioningState
az monitor activity-log list -g rg --offset 1h --query "[].{op:operationName.value,status:status.value}" -o table

How to diagnose

  1. State — provisioningState Updating?
  2. Activity log — Running operations
  3. CI — Concurrent runs?
