Changing Azure Resource Group location


I have a setup in azure with a bunch of resources combined in a resource group. I want my services to be located in west-europe, so all my resources are there (where possible)

I just noticed that when creating the resource group, i accidentally used West US.

So the current setup is:

Resource Group 1 (West US)

Can I change the location of the resource group without having to create a new one and migrate everyting?

And maybe more importantly: Should i change the location or does it not impact anything?

Thanks!


Solution

  • You can't change the location of a resource group.

    It wouldn't matter where your resource group is created. It is just a logical container of resources inside it.

    Your resources inside a resource group need not be in the same region as that of the resource group. They can be in any region where the resource is supported.
