Azure Resource Group name capitilisation

Question

I have an interesting issue in Azure where somehow I've had some resources assign themselves to "Default-Web-NorthEurope" and some to "Default-Web-northeurope". (Note capitalisation)

Lets say I have Website1 and Website2. I'd like both of these to belong to the same App Service Plan. If I create a new one for "Website1" named "WebsitesServicePlan" The UI won't show me that plan when trying to change the plan for "Website2".

Has anyone else come across this issue and have any idea of a solution?

First of all, Azure Resource Group naming is not case sensitive. So I've no idea how you created two resource groups with the name Default-Web-NorthEurope and Default-Web-northeurope successfully. I suggest you double check the names in the portal.

Assume that the Default-Web-NorthEurope and Default-Web-northeurope are different groups and as you descriped Website1 is in Default-Web-NorthEurope, Website2 in Default-Web-northeurope, UI will definitely not show you the App Service Plan you created for "Websites1" when trying to change the plan for "Website2". Because both apps and plans are contained in a resource group. Apps can be moved between plans as long as the plans are in the same resource group and geographical region. In other words, when you want to change plans for app, the plans must be in the same resource group and geographical region.
