Minimal steps to reproduce

azd init -t azure-search-openai-demo-csharp azd up select subscription: My internal subscription with openai access select location: westeurope, closest with openai presence

Any log messages given by the failure

ERROR: deployment failed: failing invoking action 'provision', error deploying infrastructure: starting deployment to subscription: PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/1ba0c403-6df1-461d-a7bc-c5471edbd702/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/chatsample-1700223230

RESPONSE 400: 400 Bad Request ERROR CODE: InvalidTemplate

The value 'westeurope' is not part of the allowed value(s): 'canadaeast,eastus,eastus2,francecentral,switzerlandnorth,uksouth,japaneast,northcentralus'.'.", "additionalInfo": [ { "type": "TemplateViolation", "info": { "lineNumber": 1, "linePosition": 1353, "path": "properties.template.parameters.openAiResourceGroupLocation.allowedValues" } } ] } }

TraceID: f1cced339653b6f0b3c36d2e5bb3c24f

Expected/desired behavior

I think this validation is incorrect: The value should be allowed, so the template should be updated? If the template is correct and the value should indeed not be allowed, please explain why to the user. Ideally azd should only accept regions that are allowed by the template, with explanation.

OS and Version?

Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). macOS (Yosemite? El Capitan? Sierra?) Windows 23H2 (22631.2715), WSL2 Ubuntu 22.04.3

Versions

Mention any other details that might be useful

This is because the bicep file.

As a workaround if you add westeurope as one of the locations on the list, it should work.
