Azure Cognitive Services - Form Recognizer (preview) - Not able to select location - azure

I'm trying to create a Form recogniser solution for a use case and got approval for preview. But I'm not able to select the location while creating my resource from Azure Portalenter image description here

Form Recognizer is currently available in West US 2 and West Europe locations only, with regional availability expanding in the near future.

Please make sure you are signed into the Azure Portal with the same subscription ID provided in the access request form. If you have several subscription IDs please use switch directory in the portal to switch to the whitelisted subscription.

Azure Lighthouse onboarding customers not in customers list

Days ago I onboarded a customer using Service Principal with an ARM template in our blob storage, then the client went to this URL:
https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Template/uri/{Blob Url}, accepted us as their resource manager, and we could make connections and go-to resources but via PowerShell, why it doesn't show to us in our Azure Lighthouse Customers page?
I can work with the resources, make deployments, and such but doesn't show in the list, I want to know if it is because we need to be gold competency or an expert MSP because we don't want to make a public offer in the market, we just want to manage certain customers.
It should be displayed there. No special conditions are required such as the ones you've mentioned. Are you definitely signed in to your own partner/MSP tenant with an account that has delegated access to the customers? Does anything show up under delegations within the Azure Lighthouse section?
If you have access to the customer tenant, does your company show up under Service Providers within Azure Lighthouse on the Azure portal?
Case closed, the Service Principal itself doesn't have the privileges on the service provider's tenant to make your user a reader. So the solution for this was:
Remove the offer in the customer tenant.
Add new authorization in the ARM template for a user/group with "Reader" built-in role id. (In our case, we decided to use an AD group because people in the organization is temporary)
Upload the new ARM template and re-onboarded the client.
After a couple of hours, the client's subscription showed in the subscription list in the section: Directories + subscriptions, checked it, and saw all the resources from the service provider's tenant.
I found a solution for this issue.
The Azure Lighthouse->My customers list on the azure portal only shows subscriptions activated in the global directories and subscription filter.
Please go to the global directories and subscriptions filter (in the portal top navigation) and open the drop downs for directories and for subscriptions and check, if your customer subscription appears here.
If yes, select all entries in both drop downs.
After that go back to Azure Lighthouse->My customers
and check, if the customer subscription appears now.

Moving resources from one Azure account to another

A company that we hired to develop or software created an azure account where they have our database, API, etc. Recently we decided to have our own azure account and our plan is to move all the resources that are on the vendor azure account to our own.
It is possible to move all the services from the vendor account to ours? if so can you guys point me in the right direction?
The boundary for resources in Azure is the "Subscription". All you need to do is change the subscription for the resources.
In the Azure Portal, select the Resource Group with the resources that you want to move to your control. Then change the Subscription ID to yours.
You cannot move all types of resources. Some you will need to recreate. This link provides more details:

QnA Maker Service location restricted to US West

since the structural change of the QnA Maker using Azure Search I recognized the only location to choose for the cognitive service is "US West". The app service and search service belonging to it can still be located anywhere.
Is this working as intended? If so, does the knowledge base of the QnA Maker Service belong to the region of the QnA Maker Service (US West) or does it belong to the region of the App / Search Service (e. g. Western Europe). Where is the data stored and which information reach the service located in "US West"?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Best regards,
Alexander
Officially, QnA Maker product is available in many Azure Regions (see capture below, from official site here)
But as you mentioned, the location of the endpoint for the administration part seems restricted to West US only:
the QnA Maker v4 API console tester is only available in West US: https://westus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/5a93fcf85b4ccd136866eb37/operations/5ac266295b4ccd1554da75ff
In Azure Portal, when you create a QnA Maker resource, you can only choose West US for the Location field
Unlike LUIS, there is no eu portal (https://eu.luis.ai/)
So all the Knowledge base "administration" is through this region, on Microsoft side.
To reply to the following question:
Where is the data stored and which information reach the service
located in "US West"?
You must remember the QnA Maker architecture (since v4) which is the following:
In the end, your data is
You can check in the Azure Search resource that is created with your QnA Maker Service. See the capture below from one of my projects, you can browse the indexes and see your documents in the region you want, in your own subscription:
Previously, before the GA, the data was... on Microsoft subscription?
The answer from Nicolas R is correct.
Here is a summary statement which I've confirmed with Microsoft (12th of January 2020):
Only the QnAMaker management service is deployed in West US. This powers the management APIs and the portal. There is no customer data stored in the management service. The data and the runtime are hosted in the region of the user’s choice as per the App service and Azure search deployments.
This statement might come handy dealing with such customer requests. Still, it comes without a guarantee and things might change/improve in the future.

Classic storage "The selected pricing tier is not supported in this location" Europe West

I have azure account and some services created on it(web app, database and server, web service and storage account), and noticed that some accounts are created on Europe North and others on Europe West farms. I wanted to move everything, or recreate on Europe West, but run into a problem when creating classic storage account. When I want to create classic storage account in Europe West location, I get the message "The selected pricing tier is not supported in this location". I have a B1 Basic service plan(tried to switch it to S1 but it didn't help). The thing that is bothering me is that my colleague tried to create the same thing from his azure account and he was able to do it. Also, I tried doing the same from my private account(account that it's not working for is company's account), and was also able to do it. I have Pay-as-you-go pricing plan on company's account. I seem to be missing something here and I'm simply not experienced enough in configuring azure, and couldn't find the solution by googling. I appreciate your help.
Please create a ticket with Billing Support via Azure Portal. They should be able to help you with this.
So I finally got the solution. b0rg was on a right track. So when I posted the problem here, I was in contact with MS partner company, and they told me that for some reason, when my account was created, options for some locations weren't enabled by default, and I should create a free billing support ticket through azure portal. So I did that. Told them what MS partner told me, and within 2 working days they just enabled the options and now I can create the storage in Europe West location. Microsoft.... :/

How to use other subscriptions to create new web site on Azure

In the new Azure Portal, people who with 3-Month Free Trial subscription can create up to 10 websites.
I create a website using 3-Month Free Trial subscription already. Otherwise I have other subscriptions like Windows Azure MSDN and Pay-As-You-Go, but how can I create new website using these other subscriptions.
I mean, when I try to create new website, there's no way to select subscriptions, and the new website is always under 3-Month Free Trial subscription.
Based on your above description, I am not sure if you have a Paid Windows Azure Subscription.
So what you really need is to get a paid subscription first and that you can get directly from Windows Azure Account section at Portal. Paid subscription means you will have to pay for any other services (i.e. storage, bandwidth etc as applicable) you will use. You will have 10 free websites and will not pay anything if you just use Windows Azure Websites (ONLY) but still pay for Azure storage or anything else.
If you have multiple subscription associated with one single live account and accounts have Preview features enabled then I can see that new Management Portal does not have a way to select specific subscription to create a service. You would need to login to older portal and setup different Live ID for different subscription in "User Management" section and then use that specific Live ID to access specific subscription to create your website. (Note: The preview Portal is still in preview that's why such functionality in not available yet).
The new subscription needs to have the Preview features enabled:
"All you have to do is activate the Web Sites preview on the new subscription by going to Account (View my bill) -> Preview Features: https://account.windowsazure.com/PreviewFeatures "
