This started happening for me today. Started with a completely clean slate using the examples pulled from the documentation. This was in North Europe. I tried deploying to UK South to see if it was a region thing but seems to fail regardless.

Terraform:

resource "azurerm_cosmosdb_account" "db" {
  name = "my-cmdb-resource-name"
  location = "North Europe"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.main.name
  offer_type = "Standard"
  kind = "GlobalDocumentDB"
  tags = local.tags

  consistency_policy {
    consistency_level = "Session"
  }

  geo_location {
    location = "North Europe"
    failover_priority = 0
  }
}

Terraform version: 0.12.26
AzureRM: 2.11.0

I am using TF 0.12.26 with AzureRM 2.10 and experiancing same issue --- fails on previous success IaC executions.

[kensykora]

Here's the output I'm getting, might open up a support case with Microsoft -- I doubt this is an azurerm provider issue since it's throwing a 500 error. Not much terraform can do about it.

Our resources are also in West Europe like others above.

Edit: I've opened a support case with Microsoft on this -- Request 120060224009612

[kensykora]

Microsoft has indicated it might be a known issue.

[nara]

i am getting same error.

Terraform v0.12.26
provider.azurerm v2.3.0

[srinivasansharath]

I am also getting the same issues..

Terraform v0.12.24
provider.azurerm v2.8.0 v2.9.0 v2.10.0 v.2.11.0 v2.12.0 (all these versions)

Was working until 1am (UST) 2nd June 2020, suddenly stopped working there after.

[xtellurian]

Seeing the same thing in Australia Southeast

[arkiaconsulting]

Seeing this in France Central as well.
Terraform v0.12.26

• provider.azurerm v2.12.0

[Alexei-B]

I have raised a Microsoft support request and the Cosmos product team are apparently looking into this as a possible Azure side issue.

[madonnaz]

Same issue in Central US and West US

Error checking if CosmosDB Account "" already exists
documentdb.DatabaseAccountsClient#CheckNameExists: Failure responding to request: StatusCode=500

[ferhaty89]

FYI. I've been able to get the CosmosDB account by downgrading to azurerm v1.31.0 (which ignores the 500 error). It's not a pretty workaround but it works for the time being.

[jackofallops]

Upstream issue raised: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/issues/9891
We'll prepare a similar workaround for the 500 status.

[markjbrown]

We have identified the root cause for this and are actively working on a hot fix to the issue. ETA should be tomorrow.

Thanks.

[markjbrown]

We've deployed the fix for this and the issue is resolved.

[vaughanh1]

As suggested by the above link, I have tested the hotfix of azurerm version 2.12.0, and it is working.

[hashibot[bot]]

This has been released in version 2.13.0 of the provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading. As an example:

provider "azurerm" {
    version = "~> 2.13.0"
}
# ... other configuration ...
