Azure Resource Support for Availability Zone

Over the years, an increasing number of services are consumed in the cloud and as architects one of the key considerations is designing the availability of a service you are looking to consume in the cloud. In Azure, you have options to use availability zones which is providing local data centre failures within a region or designing for regional failures where there is a complete region outage and you need to run the workload from another region.

Microsoft has a great set of documentation at Azure reliability documentation | Microsoft Learn covering how you would design for a local regional data centre failure and a region failure. 

The page I refer to quite often is the Azure services that support availability zone. Each of the services listed provides a link to the documentation describing how you can achieve it. Azure services that support availability zones | Microsoft Learn

The second page that I also refer to often is Reliability guidance overview for Microsoft Azure products and services | Microsoft Learn which provides links for both availability zone and disaster recovery (regional failure). They are short guides explaining and providing options on how you would achieve availability for a particular Azure service.
