Subscription could not be found

Terraform Providers Azure

Hi

I’m getting the following error when trying to run terraform init using Az CLI in Azure GCC High. I am trying to store my tfstate in another subscription and deploy resource into another - both subs are in the same tenant. I’ve had success with the below terraform{} provider{} in commercial so I’m stumped!

Initializing the backend… ╷ │ Error: Failed to get existing workspaces: Error retrieving keys for Storage Account “storageaccount”: storage.AccountsClient#ListKeys: Failure responding to request: StatusCode=404 – Original Error: autorest/azure: Service returned an error. Status=404 Code=“SubscriptionNotFound” Message=“The subscription ‘’ could not be found.”

I’ve cleared the .azure folder and switched to USGovernment using az cloud set --name AzureUSGovernment then az login. When az login completes, I see all the subscriptions I have oadmin to and & are visible and enabled in the output.

  terraform {
      required_providers {
        azurerm = {
          source  = "hashicorp/azurerm"
          version = "~> 3.27.0"
        }
      }
      backend "azurerm" {
        subscription_id      = "<Subscription A GUID>"                
        tenant_id            = "<Tenant GUID>"                
        resource_group_name  = "rg-demo"
        storage_account_name = "storagename"                                    
        container_name       = "tfstate"                                             
        key                  = "env/state.tfstate"
      }
    
    }
    
    provider "azurerm" {
      features {}
      
      subscription_id = <Subscription B GUID>
      tenant_id       = <Tenant GUID>
    }

Thanks in advance,

Brad.

Curious if you ever got this resolved? I’m having the same issue.
