Azure DevOps Organization Subscription Error in KodeKloud Labs

raghava_017 · December 18, 2025, 7:19pm

Hi KodeKloud Team,

I am reaching out regarding an issue I am facing with Azure DevOps organization configuration in KodeKloud Labs.

Previously, I was able to create an Azure DevOps organization using KodeKloud Labs and successfully practice without any issues. However, I am now encountering the following subscription-related error:

“You must be an Owner or Contributor of the Azure subscription to use it for billing. Please choose a different subscription or request the appropriate role.”

Because of this error, I am unable to proceed with creating or using the Azure DevOps organization for practice.

I would like to mention that I have an active KodeKloud PRO subscription. Could you please help me resolve this issue at the earliest so I can continue my learning and lab practice?

Thank you very much in advance for your support.

I’m a little skeptical “it used to work this way”, since the way the labs work, they need to belong to “our” organization in the Azure system, and that’s always been the case for Azure. When using the labs you need to use our subscription, and since the labs are limited in what they allow, creating a new subscription is not allowed.

I’m also facing same issue. If anyone know, how to resolve this, please do let me know.

I’m getting the same error. That’s why I couldn’t complete the task “Day 30: Set Up and Manage a Secure Azure DevOps Repository”.

Cannot create Azure DevOps organization as well due to subscription

I also have such issue.
@raymond.baoly Could you please help us resolve this issue?

I don’t have permission to do this. The team is aware of the issue and is working on it. I’ll keep you updated once it’s fixed.

@rob_kodekloud , The issue remains unresolved despite multiple attempts and is preventing me from continuing my lab practice.

Please assist in resolving this subscription issue and let me know if there have been any recent changes to the lab setup or subscription limitations, or if further action is required from my side.

Thank you.

We do know people are waiting for this – the engineer has been notified, and as soon as he can, he’ll get this sorted.

Hello KodeKloud Team,

I’m also receiving the same error . Is this issue resolved ?

yethihawin · December 30, 2025, 6:27am

I also facing this same error. I wait 5days ago. How to do it.

petya.bogdan · January 6, 2026, 8:35am

Looks like 30 task of “100 days of Cloud (Azure)” was replaced and I was able to complete tasks till 42.
But in 42 task - “Day 42: Deploying a Web Application from Repository on Azure”
we also need to create organization and repo in Organization which also leds to the same permission errors.

Hi @petya.bogdan ,

I’ve received the details from Raymond and am working with the KKE team to update this task as soon as possible. Please give us some time.

Regards,

Hi @petya.bogdan

The Day 42 task has also been replaced with a new one. Please try again.

petya.bogdan · January 11, 2026, 9:41am

@raymond.baoly and @Tej-Singh-Rana thank you for your help, I was able to pass 42-47 tasks

Hello Team,

I am still facing issues with my Azure DevOps subscription. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this, the problem remains unresolved and is currently preventing me from continuing my lab practice.

I kindly request your assistance in resolving this subscription issue. Please let me know if there have been any recent changes to the lab setup, subscription limitations, or access policies. If any further action is required from my side, I would be happy to proceed accordingly.

Looking forward to your support.

Thank you,

raymond.baoly · January 14, 2026, 6:10am

Hi @raghava_017

You’re working on KKE Azure, right? The team is working on replacing it with another task. I’ll keep you updated.

raghava_017 · January 26, 2026, 5:29am

Hi raymond.baoly & Team,

Thank you for your response.

I understand that your team may not have direct expertise in resolving playground or lab-related technical issues. However, I would like to highlight that this Azure DevOps subscription issue has been reported earlier (since December 2025) and is still unresolved, and I am currently blocked from continuing my lab practice.

While I am aware of the community forum support, I request your assistance in escalating this issue to the appropriate technical team internally or confirming whether there are any known issues or limitations with the Azure DevOps playground environment.

At this stage, repeatedly redirecting the issue without a clear resolution path or ETA is impacting my learning progress. Kindly let me know:

If the issue has already been raised with the technical team
A clear ETA for resolution
Or if any action is required from my side

I would appreciate your support in ensuring this issue is tracked and resolved at the earliest.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,
Raghava.
