Azure Availability Zones are separate data center sites within an Azure region. Each zone operates independently, with its own power, cooling, and network infrastructure. Their main purpose is to ensure high availability and resilience for applications and services hosted on Azure. By distributing resources across different zones, you can protect your applications from failures or disruptions in a specific zone.
These Availability Zones are connected through fast and low-latency networking, allowing efficient data replication and synchronization. This connectivity provides protection against data center outages, network interruptions, and other localized incidents.
In this exploration, Dan Sasse covers Azure's geographical structure and how Availability Zones play a vital role in maintaining the reliability of your applications. Gain insights into their architecture and discover how to leverage their capabilities to enhance the resilience of your Azure deployments.
