Azure for Students: Policy restricting creation of Static Web App
Hi Azure for Student accounts now has policy that restricts regions in which resources can be created. Now when you are creating an application in Azure Web App (Advanced tab) you have a drop down to choose Region for Azure API and staging environments. In drop down there only few regions.
