Azure services that don't require region to be specified

Following is the current list of Azure services that operate globally and do not require customers to specify a particular region when using the service:
  • Service Fabric
  • SQL Data Warehouse
  • Traffic Manager
  • DNS
  • CDN
  • BizTalk Services
  • Azure Active Directory
  • Multi-Factor Authentication
  • Visual Studio Application Insights
  • Azure Resource Manager
Some points to note about Azure services:
  • Not all services may be available in a particular region or data center (for example, the G-series VMs are only available from 3 data centers)
  • Data centers in a region (currently, Australia & India) may not be available to businesses not directly operating in the country where that Azure Region is.
  • The cost of Azure services may vary significantly for some services across data centers (Thought: if just an internet presence for an entity's website is required without up-time or latency concerns, what would be the cheapest DC to host it from?)
