Resource group in region other than

Question

Hi,

I created a resource group in the region (Western USA 2).

Today I created resources in the region (Southern Brazil).

Problem 1: I am unable to migrate the resource group to another region.
Problem 2: I cannot migrate Express Route to another resource group.
Problem 3: I am unable to migrate Azure Bastion to another resource group.

Is there a problem with maintaining this configuration? Or will I have a problem creating resources in another region for example?

Or will I have problems with resource availability?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Better to have a check on the following resources: Supported resources and pre-requisites
move-region

Answer 2

@Salves Problem 1: I am unable to migrate the resource group to another region.
Ans: You cannot move the resource group to another location but you can move the resources in it to another resource group. The resources in a resource group do not need to be in the same region as the resource group region.

Problem 2: I cannot migrate Express Route to another resource group.
Problem 3: I am unable to migrate Azure Bastion to another resource group.
Ans: This article lists whether an Azure resource type supports the move operation. It also provides information about special conditions to consider when moving a resource: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/move-support-resources

Express Route move is not supported.
Bastion hosts move is not supported.

Ques 4: Is there a problem with maintaining this configuration? Or will I have a problem creating resources in another region for example?
Or will I have problems with resource availability?

Ans: The actual process for moving resources across regions depends on the resources you're moving. However, there are some common key steps:

-Verify prerequisites: Prerequisites include making sure that the resources you need are available in the target region, checking that you have enough quota, and verifying that your subscription can access the target region.
-Analyze dependencies: Your resources might have dependencies on other resources. Before moving, figure out dependencies so that moved resources continue to function as expected after the move.
-Prepare for move: These are the steps you take in your primary region before the move. For example, you might need to export an Azure Resource Manager template, or start replicating resources from source to target.
-Move the resources: How you move resources depends on what they are. You might need to deploy a template in the target region, or fail resources over to the target.
-Discard target resources: After moving resources, you might want to take a look at the resources now in the target region, and decide if there's anything you don't need.
-Commit the move: After verifying resources in the target region, some resources might require a final commit action. For example, in a target region that's now the primary region, you might need to set up disaster recovery to a new secondary region.
-Clean up the source: Finally, after everything's up and running in the new region, you can clean up and decommission resources you created for the move, and resources in your primary region.
