The resource with name 'name' and type 'Microsoft.ContainerRegistry/registries' could not be found in subscription

Question

I am working on a script where I want to run az acr import. The command tries to list the repository but fails with the error: The resource with name 'name' and type 'Microsoft.ContainerRegistry/registries' could not be found in subscription

As you can see in the screenshot below. This registry is indeed present in the subscription. I am able to login, run docker push as well which completes successfully. But az acr show returns a failure.

Answer 1

I tried to log in to another Azure subscription and tried running

az acr show -n <acr-name> 

and received same error code as yours even when the az acr log in command was successfull, refer below:-

When I ran the same commands and logged into the correct subscription where my ACR is deployed, Then I was able to retrieve acr details with az acr show -n <acr-name> command, Refer below:-

I am using sudo before every Azure CLI command to make sure I am running the scripts as a root user.

Scripts:-

Logged into my Azure account:-

sudo az login

Checked if the account is set to the correct subscription as my ACR:-

sudo az account set --subscription <subscription-id>

Logged into ACR:-

sudo az acr login --name <acr-name> --username siliconacr --password <password>

Ran the command:-

sudo az acr show --name siliconacr

Make sure you only add Container registry name and not the log in server name in the az acr show - n command.

Output:-

If the issue persists try az logout command let and try logging in again as your Azure CLI in the ubuntu VM might have cached the credentials.

Answer 2

I managed to solve the same error adding the resource group to the command.

az acr show -n <registryName> --resource-group <registry-resource-group>
