A facility with a unique physical location and independent power, network, and cooling. Each Availability Zone is comprised of one or more datacenters and houses infrastructure to support operations of production online services with high availability, and that are tolerant to datacenter failures. Availability Zones do not share the same physical datacenter.

Availability Zone

A set of hyper-scale datacenters, organized into Availability Zones, deployed within a latency-defined perimeter. The datacenters in a region are connected through our dedicated hyper-scale, low latency regional network fabric.

Region

A large geographic area or discrete market containing two or more Regions. Geos preserve data residency and compliance boundaries. Region pairs support operations of production online services with high availability and are tolerant to complete region failures without leaving the data residency boundary of the geography. The Regions within each Geo, and in different Geos, are connected through Microsoft’s dedicated high capacity backbone network.
