Please be aware of geographical location creating a free account on Azure DevOps

May '24 • DP-600

I would like to share with the community my experience practicing with Will's DP-600 EXAM PREP (4 of 12) videos. Following Will's instructions on setting up a fresh Azure DevOps account, I quickly accepted the default settings and didn't realize my account was set to India, while my primary Azure account is located in Western Europe. This caused a significant issue when setting up the Git integration on Fabric. Since I am on a trial period, this tier does not allow enabling Multi-Geo in the Admin Panel. Consequently, I had to delete my Azure DevOps account and start over, as I was unable to move my Azure DevOps account from India to Europe. Nothing really serious but one lesson to learn.😅
