Azure Subscription Status

Current Subscription

• Name: Digital Bank of International Settlements
• Subscription ID: fc08d829-4f14-413d-ab27-ce024425db0b
• State: Enabled (but read-only for writes)
• Tenant ID: fb97e99d-3e94-4686-bfde-4bf4062e05f3
• Account: admin@absoluterealms.org

Issue

The subscription appears as "Enabled" but is in read-only mode, preventing:

• Resource group creation
• Azure Arc onboarding
• Any write operations

Resolution Options

Option 1: Re-enable Subscription (Recommended)

1. Go to Azure Portal
2. Navigate to: Subscriptions → Digital Bank of International Settlements
3. Check subscription status and billing
4. Re-enable if suspended due to billing/payment issues
5. Contact Azure Support if needed

Option 2: Use Alternative Subscription

If you have access to other subscriptions, you can switch:

# List all subscriptions
az account list --output table

# Switch to a different subscription
az account set --subscription "subscription-id-here"

# Update .env file with new subscription ID

Option 3: Continue Without Azure Arc (Temporary)

• Deploy infrastructure without Azure Arc integration
• Onboard to Azure Arc later when subscription is enabled
• Use Proxmox and Cloudflare features independently

Next Steps

1. Resolve subscription issue in Azure Portal
2. Or switch to alternative subscription if available
3. Then proceed with:
   • Create resource group
   • Onboard Proxmox hosts to Azure Arc
   • Continue with deployment

Workaround: Test Other Operations

While waiting for subscription resolution, you can:

• ✅ Test Proxmox operations (VM creation, etc.)
• ✅ Configure Cloudflare Tunnel
• ✅ Prepare Terraform configurations
• ✅ Create VM templates
• ✅ Test network configurations
