Creation of azure_native frontdoor fails with "Frontdoor location must be global."

Question

migrating my frontdoor from the to the azure-native package I am facing a strange error message that I cannot make sense of:

  azure-native:network:FrontDoor (frontDoor):
    error: Code="BadRequest" Message="Frontdoor location must be global."

I took almost 1 to 1 the example at https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/azure-native/api-docs/network/frontdoor/ I only changed subId and rg

For the record, I am migration to azure-native package because 1) it is advised and 2) I want to add waf policy and I was not able to do with the azure.network package.

Does that ring a bell?

Answer 1

Actually, the location must be set specifically to global. Something like

    location: "global",

I did not know of this location and it is not one of the values in the location enumeration.
