Azure-docs: Mapping for South Africa

[rphoon]

Hi, what is the mapping for South Africa? Are solutions like Update Management not available in that region?

@rphoon Thank you for your question! We will review and provide an update as appropriate.

As per the first note in this doc, "_The Update Management solution requires linking a Log Analytics workspace to your Automation account. For a definitive list of supported regions, see Azure Workspace mappings. The region mappings don't affect the ability to manage VMs in a separate region from your Automation account._"

As per the Azure Workspace mappings document, South Africa region is not listed and so I believe it's not supported.

@MGoedtel Can you confirm if the Azure Workspace mappings document is up-to-date or not. If not, please consider enhancing the doc as appropriate.

@KrishnaG-MSFT - As far as I know this document is up-to-date. I will check with the product team to verify and if a region is missing, I'll get that addressed ASAP. Thanks.

@rfphoon & @KrishnaG-MSFT - I've checked with the product team and our list of region mappings in the article is up-to-date. There is work underway to have this and the other Automation solutions available in this region within the third quarter of this year. While your VMs are in the South Africa region, you can have an Automation account and LA workspace in the West Europe region to use UM solution (which is the closest region for you) in the meantime. Hope this helps. #please-close
