Hi Don Beer,
The deployment failure you're encountering is likely caused by the limitations of the Azure sandbox environment. While the sandbox is designed for learning and testing purposes, it has restricted resources and permissions, which may prevent certain actions, such as deploying specific services or accessing certain Azure resources.
To bypass these limitations, you can deploy and test the service on your local machine using tools like Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code (as outlined in the exercise). This approach will enable you to work on the project without running into errors, providing a more seamless and flexible development experience.
