use of "global" on resources

[Klaas-]

Describe the bug
Hi,
currently it seems that sometimes you use "Global" sometimes "global" as location. I am guessing this should be uniform everywhere.

To Reproduce
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-mgmt-monitor/azure.mgmt.monitor.v2023_01_01.aio.operations.actiongroupsoperations?view=azure-python#azure-mgmt-monitor-v2023-01-01-aio-operations-actiongroupsoperations-get
returns
"Global"

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-mgmt-monitor/azure.mgmt.monitor.v2020_10_01.aio.operations.activitylogalertsoperations?view=azure-python#azure-mgmt-monitor-v2020-10-01-aio-operations-activitylogalertsoperations-get
returns
"global"

for location.

Expected behavior
Consistent capitalization of a location name throughout azure. It is not important for me if at the end its either one, I just would like it to be consistently one or the other.

Thanks for reaching out.

I don't find "global" in the docs you shared. Do you mean they are return values?

Hi,
yes, its in the return. But it's also here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-mgmt-monitor/azure.mgmt.monitor.v2020_10_01.models.activitylogalertresource?view=azure-python

Just looking at monitor in python sdk, there are lots of examples in other resources as well:

This should be a consistent enum I guess? :) normalized to one or the other, also server side inside Azure, not just the sdk?

[xiangyan99]

Thanks for the information and yes, you are right. If it is in the response, it needs server-side changes. Please open issues in https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs.

@xiangyan99 but shouldn't it also be a enum or something like that in python sdk instead of a free-form string?
