Incorrect answer – Moving app between regions

Hi Marioka,
Thank you for pointing this out.
You are indeed correct that App Service resources/Azure services are region-specific and can’t be moved across regions. This means you cannot change the region of an existing Web App directly.
However, the scenario question doesn’t speaking of moving the WebApp to another region but rather to another subscription. When you move a Web App or any other Azure resource to a different subscription or resource group, the physical location (i.e., the Azure region) of the resource does not change. This is because the deployment and operational aspects of the resource are tied to its original region for reasons like data residency and latency.
In short, moving a Web App to another subscription doesn’t mean changing its geographic location but changing its administrative and policy context within Azure’s global infrastructure.
I hope this helps.Regards,

Hi,
I’m confused by this too…
I used Cloudlee for my training…
He stated when you first deploy your app service plan (which is used by web apps) the underlying resources are deployed to the resource group & region the app service plan are deployed to.
That’s why when you create a web app you HAVE to select the region AND the same resource group as the app service plan.
What this question is suggesting is to move the Web App to another resource group…. which doesn’t make sense as all the resources it uses are in its original resource group.
Please clarify…
