New Nerdio instance – name is already in use

If you are deploying a Nerdio instance and you have deployed a Nerdio instance before, you may see the following error:

Now, it’s not like you hit the same name with a probability of 36^12. Much higher is the probability that you want to deploy instances of Nerdio in the same tenant, in a resource group with the same name.

You should now check if there is still a KeyVault on the subscription:

Soft Delete is enabled on the KeyVaults provided by Nerdio and will only be deleted after 90 days. You can now delete the Key Vault:

After that, the KeyVault should no longer be present. Deployment in the same resource group should now be possible again (before deleting all resources that have already been created again).
