Status=<nil> Code="AlreadyInUse" Message="The registry DNS name containerregistry1.azurecr.io is already in use.

I'm beginner at Terraform and tried different combinations but didn't worked. Not sure what can be the problem, is it possible to help?

How do I create a Container Registry on Azure with a resource?

Answer 1

From your error message, it appears like you are using a non-unique ACR name in the below pasted terraform resource declaration:
resource "azurerm_container_registry" "acr" {
**name = "containerRegistry1"**
resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.rg.name
location = azurerm_resource_group.rg.location
sku = "Premium"
admin_enabled = false
georeplication_locations = ["West Europe"]
}
Azure CLI has az acr check-name to ensure that ACR name is globally unique.

Answer 2

I think your issue is because your acr name is already globally taken. Not within your subscription, but GLOBALLY.
This is because ACR need a url to be accessed, and the url needs to be unique. That means some other Azure account has taken that name.
