Azure CLI - az deployment group create - SubscriptionNotAuthorizedForImage Error - azure

Question

In Azure when deploying via 'az deployment group create' I get an error since a few days.
The ressource group is created in 'West Europe' - Region
Here is my command:
az deployment group create --resource-group rg-UITest-$(Build.BuildId) --template-file WorkingCopy/hook/AzureDevOps/e5_setupvm_template.json --parameters WorkingCopy/hook/AzureDevOps/e5_setupvm_parameters.json --parameters adminPassword=$env:PASSWORD_FOR_VIRTUALMACHINE
With debug Flag I get the following information
2021-06-01T08:49:28.2629276Z DEBUG: cli.azure.cli.core.sdk.policies: Response content:
2021-06-01T08:49:28.2630595Z DEBUG: cli.azure.cli.core.sdk.policies: {"status":"Failed","error":{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed.

Here is the template.json imageReference:
"imageReference": {
"publisher": "MicrosoftWindowsDesktop",
"offer": "Windows-10",
"sku": "rs5-pro",
"version": "latest"
}
Just a few days ago it still worked. I am not sure what has changed or what the problem is.
Here the full template:

Answer 1

Its Normal this image is no logger available,
When having this type of issue try to create it via the web interface as you will have the available SKU
Note : the listed image via az command is not always up to date
az vm image list-skus --location 'westeurope' --offer 'Windows-10' --publisher 'MicrosoftWindowsDesktop'
Better use
source_image_reference {
publisher = "MicrosoftWindowsDesktop"
offer = "Windows-10"
version = "latest"
sku = "20h2-pro"
}
