Missing Azure DevOps Organization when setting up CI/CD via Deployment Center

Having worked on Azure for many years now, I have provisioned, deleted, switch, modified so much I sometimes get a bit lost.  I was configuring CI/CD for a project and selected Azure Repos, but when I opened the Organization drop-down I did not see the Azure DevOps organization.

I double checked and I was for sure using the same account in Azure that I was with Azure DevOps.  The problem had to do with the Azure Active Directory tenant in which I was logged into.  An AAD tenant is a directory which stores your identity and looks something like this:  *.onmicrosoft.com

Swapping back and forth resulted in the same issue. The issue was caused by poor planning or lack of knowledge on my part.  The AAD tenant on which I provision the resource which I want to configure Deployment Center for, needs to be in the same AAD tenant as the Azure DevOps organization.

I did read that there are some AAD actions which you can take to merge tenants, but nothing simple and nothing I would recommend.

I am going to manually delete and re-provision the Azure DevOps repository I created in tenant Benjamin Perkins to Microsoft.  I created my Azure Function while logged in to the Microsoft AAD tenant but I created the Azure DevOps while logged into the Benjamin Perkins tenant.

The interesting thing is that when I configure the repository in Visual Studio 2022 and expand the list of Azure DevOps Organizations I see them all. I mean I see Organizations from both my Microsoft and Benjamin Perkins tenants, but I do not see the same in the Azure portal in Deployment Center.
