Azure ARM deployment target resource group was not found

Code=ResourceGroupNotFound

Azure Resource Manager couldn't find the target resource group, usually because the name is wrong, the subscription context is wrong, or the group does not exist yet.

ResourceGroupNotFounddeployment

Observed message

Code=ResourceGroupNotFound

Why it happens

  • The resource group name is misspelled.
  • The deployment is being run against the wrong subscription.
  • The resource group has not been created yet or was deleted.

How to fix it

  1. Verify the resource group name in the deployment command or pipeline.
  2. Confirm the active Azure subscription context before retrying.
  3. Create the resource group first if it does not already exist.
