I'm trying to set up Azure OpenAI and Document Intelligence resources for a project using my Azure for Students subscription, but I'm running into a problem. Every time I try to create these resources, even in popular regions like East US and Central India, I get an error stating that the resource is disallowed by Azure due to policy restrictions. The error message I'm facing is:
`{"code": "InvalidTemplateDeployment", "details": [{"code": "RequestDisallowedByAzure", "message": "The resource was disallowed by Azure: This policy maintains a set of best available regions where your subscription can deploy resources."}]}`
My subscription is a free tier for students, and I can't find which regions are allowed for these deployments. Does anyone know the permitted regions for deploying Document Intelligence and Azure OpenAI? Or is there a way to check the allowed regions via the CLI if I can't access them through the Portal?

You might want to explore using the Azure CLI or deploying via Bicep templates. It lets you test different regions quickly instead of continuously clicking through the portal. Plus, you can find commands generated for you in the AI platform you're using, just double-check those with Microsoft Learn documentation.
I faced a similar issue while trying to create a Document Intelligence resource. I was able to set up the resource group, but creating the document resource gave me trouble too. The policy section didn’t show any available locations for my subscription. Are there really restrictions on what we can use with a student subscription?
