Aviatrix Exam ACE Topic 2 Question 44 Discussion

Azure does not supports Availability Zones in all its regions.

There are two types of regions in Azure

1. Recommended Region : A region that provides the broadest range of service capabilities and is

designed to support Availability Zones now, or in the future. These are designated in the Azure portal

as Recommended.

2. Alternate (other) Region: A region that extends Azure's footprint within a data residency boundary

where a recommended region also exists. Alternate regions help to optimize latency and provide a

second region for disaster recovery needs. They are not designed to support Availability Zones

(although Azure conducts regular assessment of these regions to determine if they should become

recommended regions). These are designated in the Azure portal as Other.
