    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"

Hello Kent

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question.

 

I wonder if I am experiancing somesort of bug but I get the same result in Windows Edge Brower and Internet Explorer

 

I am using Windows 10 version 10.0.14393 and build 14393

 

I have one Resource Group and all my other resources are part of this Resource Group (based in West UK)

 

I left it 24 hours but when I go to create a VM it does not show my existing Availability Group is being available (it does not show it at all) and therefore I have the option of None or to create a New one.

 

Also I notice when I am on my Azure Portal home page under the 'All Resources' & ' All Subscriptions' tile it does not show my ResourceGroup (but it does show the other items). However if I click on ResourceGroups on the leaf most menu/tile it does show my ResourceGroup.

 

Therefore I now have two issues the main one being I cannot select a current AvailabilityGroup when building my first VM and also I do not see my Resource Group under 'All Resources'

 

Any idea, what is going on here please? can Microsoft offer an explanation?

 

Thanks
