    The lack of seeing resource groups from the "all resources" is by design.

    Resource groups are just logical containers, so the serve no purpose in that view.

     

    With regards to you availability set, try and create a new one prior to clicking create copy the Resource template so i can see what you would have created.

     

    You may have chosen to create a classic Availability set, it gives you classic or aligned "in reality its classic vs. ARM"

Today i faced the same issue. 

 

I'd to restore a VM, within it's old Availability set. 

I tried for 4-5 hours investigating and troubleshooting. Even tried scripts to change the availability set. 

Tried Disk Swap but worked nothing. 

 

At last, I found little odd within the "Availability set" >>"overview" section I found the option "Managed" was set to "No". 

 

So I upgraded that to "yes" via option "convert to managed"

 

and that's it. I resolved the issue. 

 

hope that works for you guys.
