User Story:

Azure stipulates that any VM that's created must have a NIC in the same location as the virtual machine. The NIC must also belong to a subnet in the same location as well. Furthermore, the network security group attached to a subnet must also be in the same location as the subnet and therefore vnet.

So all these resources, virtual network (including subnets), network security group, and resource group (and all the associated resources in there including VMs and NICs), all have to be in the same location.
