Incorrect answer – Moving app between regions

[Marioka]

Hi,

The second question is marked incorrectly as incorrect. Azure app cannot be moved to another region. Why does this say that it can be moved?

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.
