Arc resource group not created in correct location
Hi everyone,
I have an issue with the following:
If I create a new Resource Group from Azure Arc Deployment it will be created at default in East US and not where my server details will get saved.
My configuration:
And resource group looks like this:
Is this by design to create resource group beforehand?
Thanks in advance
Andreas
Hi Andreas,
I could also reproduce this issue and the Arc team as well. They have identified it as a bug and is on the backlog to be fixed. A workaround is to select the desired region first before clicking on Create-new to create a new resource group.

Splitbrain- Thanks for your response to this 🙂
Hi Andreas,
I have contacted the team to take a look at this, seems like the creation is indeed defaulting to 'East US' which should not be the case obviously.

https://splitbrain.comRead this article for insight, quite useful:

- Thanks guys for the infos. But I knew this already and nethertheless in other Azure Services the Resource Group will get created in the same region as the service. Some customers even have governance rules that even metadata should be in specific regions.

Hi AndreasR
Yes, resource group is always the first step of creating any Azure resource. Resource group location does not represent the Azure data center location. The location is metadata for easy management at scale.
