Solution

I was facing the very same problem with azure dependencies last few days. Upgrading spring-boot-starter-parent to version 2.5.5 fixed it for me.

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.5</version>
</parent>
