having used azure after long stints with AWS and GCP. I found Resource Groups a much more logical bucket, moreso than anything on AWS/GCP

Resource groups are fine, but it is quite unclear why a group has a region when resources with in may be in other regions.

  The object has to be in a database in one of the regions I guess.

    That is correct. Though all that metadata is replicated

      Is there a case where it matters to the user which region their group is in if all of the resources live in a different group of regions?
      - johngossman 3y ago
        For public regions, I don’t think so. At worst, there might be a tiny bit of extra latency as the orchestrator works across datacenters. But region is also used by Azure Stack and the rules might be different then. I worked on this a number of years ago and if you are really concerned, you should ask support.

Unfortunately, resource groups seems to be the only thing going for it (imo of course). AWS does have resource groups but have not used them

  In Aws, you can pay for "premium support" and get help from them for issues like this. Can even pay, get help and then cancel the sub, it's like $50 for the month. Maybe azure has an equivalent.

I liked Resource Groups too, but not so much that it changed my (extremely negative, painful) experience using Azure over AWS and GCP.

Aws doesn't have resource groups because AWS regions are purly independant and tries to maintain that as a tenet. Since azure resource groups has resources that spans regions, azure violates this tenet or maybe it's just not a tenet for them.

Have you ever set up a AzureAD Tenant that can be used with Auth0 to validate any Office365 user (without setting up a specific connection to their own AD/Tenant)? I'm having trouble doing this and so any time I'm on a forum where someone seems to exhibit some experience with Azure, I ask for help. Can pay. DM me if interested, pls.
