ResourceGroupNotFound 🔷 Azure

ResourceGroupNotFound: Resource group 'x' could not be found

The resource group doesn’t exist in the subscription the command or deployment is using.

Seen on: Azure

Meaning

The active subscription in Azure CLI/PowerShell is often not the one you expect. Typos, groups deleted or not yet created in a pipeline are other causes.

Common causes

  • Wrong active subscription
  • Typo in the resource group name
  • Group not created yet / deleted
  • Service principal without access to that subscription

⚡ Quick fix

  1. az account show / az account set --subscription
  2. az group list to find the name
  3. Create the group before deploying

Detailed fix by platform

Azure CLI

  1. bash
    az account show --query name
az account set --subscription "Production"
az group create -n rg-app -l westeurope

How to diagnose

  1. Subscription — Active one
  2. Name — Exact group name
  3. Access — Can the identity see it?
