We did a deep dive on this and discovered that not all Azure region names are coming through consistently from the vendor. We did build a solution to normalize them last year. What you're reporting here sounds like a defect. I will review this. Could you also kindly submit a support ticket for us to address this faster?
The other reason this is really important is that currently when you sort alphabetically you get all the Easts together and all the Wests together, etc... whereas using the MS standard you'll get all the countries Retogether... EU North, EU West, IN Central, IN West, US Central, US East, etc...
Alphabetical sort order currently:
Cloudability Region Name
Central India::centralindia
Central US::centralus
East Asia::eastasia
East US 2::eastus2
East US::eastus
North Central US::northcentralus
North Europe::northeurope
South Central US::southcentralus
Southeast Asia::southeastasia
West Europe::westeurope
West India::westindia
West US 2::westus2
West US::westus
Recommended Cloudability Region Name
AP East::eastasia
AP Southeast::southeastasia
EU North::northeurope
EU West::westeurope
IN Central::centralindia
IN West::westindia
US Central::centralus
US East 2::eastus2
US East::eastus
US North Central::northcentralus
US South Central::southcentralus
US West 2::westus2
US West::westus
Completely agree. The current "pretty name" portion in Cloudability doesn't align with the official "pretty" region name (available in the location column in the Azure pricing API).
