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)

  • App Service 1 (West Europe)
  • App Service 2 (West Europe)
  • SQL Server (West Europe)
  • Storage account (West Europe)
  • ... (West Europe)

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!

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.
