Question

Difficulty: EasyAzure Regions, Availability Zones, and Region Pairs

Every Azure region contains at least three physically isolated Availability Zones to protect resources from localized datacenter failures.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
Availability Zones require specialized, isolated datacenter infrastructure with independent power, cooling, and networking. Because of these physical requirements, not all Azure regions support Availability Zones.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the statement regarding Availability Zone availability across Azure regions.
Identify if all Azure regions support Availability Zones.
Not all Azure regions are equipped with the infrastructure required for Availability Zones. Some regions do not support Availability Zones.
2
Determine the truth value of the statement.
The statement is false because Availability Zones are not present in every Azure region.
To achieve high availability using Availability Zones, you must select a region that explicitly supports them.

Key Concept

Azure Availability Zones are physically separate datacenters within an Azure region, but they are not supported in every Azure region.
