Fabric Capacity location != Azure DevOps location

[tkiwi]

Hi,

my customer has an trial capacity based on West Germany and also wanted to start an F64 capacity within germany region in the near future.

We also created a new AzureDevOps organization but there we only has "Europe" as an option for the location.

And now we get the following error when we wanted to connect our Workspace with DevOps:

This workspace is in a different region. Go to the workspace admin settings to enable cross-region connections.

Is the option  "enable cross-region connections" currently the only option or is there an option i.e. to relocate the DevOps Organization to Germany?

Hi @v-mdharahman , sorry for my late replay.

The workaround is to enable the "cross region git connections" option in the admin portal.

For me this is only an workaround becauce I think the regions available when creating an fabric capacity are much more "detailed" then the regions available when creating a new AzureDevOps-Organization.

For example:

Fabric:

- West Germany

- North Germany

- France

- ...

Azure DevOps

- Europe

- North America

And this does not make sense for me.

[NandanHegde]

yes, agree in most Geo cases. Hence the best possible approach is to enable the property in admin portal

[NandanHegde]

updating the admin portal settings is the most easy way or having a fabric capacity in same region as ADO.

You can update the geo of ADO but you need to raise request with MSFT :

Thanks, but the listed geos of ADO are very different from the available regions for the capacities. Example: Fot ADO there is only europe and for the capacities there are more specific regions available.
