When creating my Azure App Service I used the default South Central US location but when I made my SQL server I set it to Central Canada. Will this still work properly or do I have to remake the Service Plan? According to Develop Cloud Connected Mobile Apps with Xamarin and Microsoft it says to make them have the same location.
It will work, but it will DEFINITELY slow things down. A lot. I highly recommend moving your App Service to Central Canada or your mySQL instance to South Central US.
