Azure not getting listed in create external location

[AanchalSoni]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a pipeline using Azure, however, Azure is not getting listed in the drop down of Catalog Explorer -> Create External Location. I'm using community version for practice. Please advice.

Hi @AanchalSoni ,

The Free edition you're using is probably hosted in AWS (as in my case, you can check that when you're logging)

Also, with Free Editon there is limitation that says you cannot configure custom workspace storage location. So to put it simply - it's not possbile

Thanks @szymon_dybczak! How can I ensure that community edition is hosted on Azure when I create a new account? I didn't get any option to select when doing the current account.

To be honest - I have no idea. In my case I also didn't get any option to select cloud provider. But in the context of your question which was regarding  creating external location this would not make any difference. In Free Edition you can't create custom external location.
