Hi @arantza-gft, thank you for reporting this issue. I have confirmed that I also get the same error, and am busy investigating the issue.

It seems there is an issue with this link:

We'll work on getting this updated asap.

In the meantime, you can use this link to successfully deploy the template:

I am seeing the same issue. When going through the portal to the "Deploy Custom Template > Landing Zone" section, the ESLZ template fails and the params are different that the Deploy link from above. Using that Deploy link works fine.

@djtech2k-MS Please use the link above to deploy for now. We are working with PG to address the link issues as reported.

This has now been resolved.
