ARM

Azure deployment is already active and cannot be edited

Code=DeploymentActiveAndUneditable

Azure Resource Manager rejected the request because another deployment with the same name is still active and cannot be modified concurrently.

DeploymentActiveAndUneditabledeployment

Observed message

Code=DeploymentActiveAndUneditable

Why it happens

  • A deployment with the same name is still running.
  • Automation reused a deployment name before the earlier deployment completed.
  • A retry occurred before Azure finished processing the current deployment.

How to fix it

  1. Wait for the active deployment to complete before retrying.
  2. Use a different deployment name if parallel deployment runs are expected.
  3. Review deployment orchestration to avoid name reuse collisions.
