Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.
```json
{
  "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentTemplate.json#",
  "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "resources": [
    {
      "type": "Microsoft.PowerApps/environments",
      "apiVersion": "2023-06-01",
      "name": "[parameters('environmentName')]",
      "location": "[parameters('location')]",
      "properties": {
        "displayName": "[parameters('displayName')]",
        "description": "Production environment",
        "environmentSku": "Production"

    }
  ]
}
```

Refer to the exhibit. You are reviewing an ARM template that creates a Power Platform environment. The deployment fails with an error stating that the 'Microsoft.PowerApps/environments' resource type is not supported in the current subscription. What is the most likely reason?

⚠ Common exam trap

The PL-900 exam often tests the distinction between resource provider registration errors and parameter validation errors, trapping candidates who focus on template syntax or SKU values instead of the underlying Azure subscription configuration.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

The Microsoft.PowerApps resource provider is not registered in the subscription.

The error 'resource type is not supported in the current subscription' indicates that the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) deployment cannot find the Microsoft.PowerApps resource provider. This provider must be explicitly registered at the subscription level before any Power Platform environment resources can be created via ARM templates. Without registration, ARM rejects the resource type as unsupported, regardless of other template parameters.

✓
The Microsoft.PowerApps resource provider is not registered in the subscription.
Why this is correct
