Azure Storage account doesn't have "Europe" Affinity / Location group? - azure

I just created a web app on North EU Azure datacenter.
When I try to add an affinity group on the Settings on manage.windowsazure.com page I only see:
South & Central & East US, Southeast Asia, Japan West.
I see the same list when I am trying to create a Storage Account or trying to create a VM.
When creating a Mobile Service I see North EU, creating a Cloud Service the same previous list without EU and with Batch Service I see a long list of data centers.
But when I go to portal.azure.com I was able to create a storage account in North EU. Then now I can't see this in the manage.windowsazure.com.
I am really confused. Is this how it should be?
Thanks

As Mike Wo mentioned, if you created an account using Resource Manager (instead of Classic), this will not show up in the old portal. If you can't see the option to create a North EU storage account in the old portal, you should create a support request ticket to figure out if your subscription has certain limitations.

Can't create App Service Plan\App Service in SouthEast Asia region

Fyi, up until last week we were still able to create resources on the said region. Most of our existing resources are also in SouthEast Asia. We have also deleted an existing P3V2 App Service Plan from the said region to try to maybe free a limitation we have reached....

Azure WebApps and CosmosDB in the Germany Central Region not showing

Azure Germany Central shows that WebApps and CosmosDB are available in the Azure Germany Central region, but they're not showing in the Webplans or the individual items.
MCD (Microsoft Cloud Deutschland) is a completely separated cloud thats why you won't be able to see it at portal.azure.com, you may want to start here:
https://portal.microsoftazure.de
Microsoft Cloud Deutschland does not exist any more, because Microsoft now has new Data Centers in Germany. (See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/azure/germany/germany-migration-main)
According to Microsoft, the Availability Zone "Germany West Central" (GermanyWestCentral) supports CosmosDb. Though I do not see it offered in the portal yet (May 2022).

Error creating a new Azure Resource Group or App service Plan/ Location

While creating a new Resource Group or app service plan/ location on new Azure Management portal, I get the following error.
Error submitting the deployment request. Additional details from the underlying API that might be helpful: The provided location 'Central India' is not permitted for subscription. List of permitted regions is 'eastasia,southeastasia,eastus,eastus2,westus,northcentralus,southcentralus,centralus,northeurope,westeurope,japaneast,japanwest,brazilsouth'. Please contact support to change your supported regions.
This is when I try & select any Indian reagions for the service. I've tried with Central India, West India & South India.
What's wrong? Are Indian regions allowed to be selected for creating new resource groups or app plans? Is this something to have with my subscription? Can I change my existing Resource group's region?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

As of today, Azure DCs are not open for general consumption in India. Right now only EA and some other hand-picked customers have their subscriptions enabled to make use of India DCs.
So in short, your Subscription is not enabled for creation of the resources in India DC. You will just have to wait till the time they open the DCs here in India for general public (or in other words Pay As You Go subscription).
Quoting from https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/regions/:
The India regions are available to volume licensing customers and
partners with a local enrolment in India. The India regions will open
to direct online Azure subscriptions in 2016.

Azure Storage and VNET?

I've been scouring the internet to try to find information on how Azure Storage and Azure Virtual Networks work together, is it possible to setup a Storage so that it can be accessed from another location?
For example I have a centralized authentication solution hosted on the US EAST center, but I have several identical region-local systems (one on EU NORTH, EU WEST, US EAST and US WEST) that need to be able to authenticate its users against the centralized authenticator located on the US EAST data-center.
Storage is not accessed via virtual networks. It's is accessed via its URI endpoint directly. You just access it from your app. If you cross region boundaries (e.g. running an app in one region, accessing storage in another region), you have to deal with latency, plus the cost of any outbound storage cost (for any data leaving the region).

Why can't I create an Azure Storage in a specific region?

My Azure Website is hosted in North Central US and when I try to create an Azure Storage in North Central US the subscription I want to use disappears (other subscriptions are still showing). Selecting East US allows me to select the right subscription.
Why?
See the 3rd paragraph on the Windows Azure service dashboard page at http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/service-dashboard/.
North Central US and South Central US regions are no longer accepting Compute or Storage deployments for new customers. Existing customers as of June 24th (for North Central US) and May 23rd (for South Central US) are not impacted. All other services remain available for deployment in those two regions. Two new regions, "West US" and "East US", are now available to all customers with the full range of Windows Azure Services, except for the Caching service.
This is because when you perform the subscription of the site, the regions are those with available storage and processing. Once a host of subscription has not capacity, is not listed as available subscription region.
