Having to create a sibling resource group for linux seems like a very silly limitation.

    This behavior is consistent with the concept of an App Service Plan, create multiple websites that can live on different resource groups. Otherwise the logical organization of an ASP and WebApps would be very limited.

    We have lifted the restriction for any resource group created as of Jan 2021.

    Older resource groups are being migrated to support this and we are currently at about 70% migration globally and expect this to complete in the next coming weeks.

    I think this can now be marked as done.

    Any new resource group since Jan 2021 is enabled to allow Windows/Linux sharing.

    We have migrated >99% of all other existing resource groups to enable sharing.

    There is a long tail of resource groups with unique circumstances that are blocked. This will be addressed in additional passes of the migration as we fix the special circumstances of each.
