Hello JW2021,
Thank you for sharing the Microsoft link, we really appreciate you taking the time to verify the documentation and raise this point.
You are absolutely right that Azure App Service resources cannot be moved across regions. The docs you referenced apply specifically to region relocation, where the App Service itself is being moved from one Azure region to another. In that scenario, Azure requires creating a new App Service in the target region and migrating the content manually.
In our exam question, the operation involved is different. The scenario is only moving the Web App to a different resource group, not to a different region. Accordingly, moving resources states that when a resource is moved to another resource group or subscription, the resource’s region does not change. The Web App stays in East US even if the destination resource group’s metadata lists a different region.
Because of that behavior, and because a Delete lock still permits updates, the move to TD-RG3 is allowed.
Your point is completely valid in the context of regional relocation, though, and we’re glad you brought it up. It helps us make the distinction clearer for other learners as well.
If you have any more questions about this item or any other scenarios, feel free to reach out anytime. We’re always happy to help and clarify.
Best regards,
Irene @ Tutorials Dojo
