Azure High Availability Guide

Azure provides several high availability services including availability zones, availability sets, and load balancers. Availability zones provide protection from datacenter failures by placing resources in separate physical locations. Services that support availability zones include virtual machines, SQL Database, and storage accounts. Availability sets group VMs to protect against hardware failures and allow safe updates by placing VMs in fault and update domains. Load balancers distribute traffic across multiple VMs.

Availability zones
Availability Zones is a high-availability offering that protects your applications and data from
datacenter failures. Availability Zones are unique physical locations within an Azure region. Each
zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and
networking

Availability Zone 1 Availability Zone 2

Availability Zone 3
Services support availability zones
Azure services that support Availability Zones fall into two categories:

• Zonal services – you pin the resource to a specific zone (for example, virtual machines,
managed disks, IP addresses)

• Zone-redundant services – platform replicates automatically across zones (for example, zone-
redundant storage, SQL Database).

Availability sets
• An availability set is a logical grouping of VMs within a datacenter that allows Azure to
understand how your application is built to provide for redundancy and availability

• An availability set is composed of two additional groupings that protect against hardware failures
and allow updates to safely be applied - fault domains (FDs) and update domains (UDs)

• Fault domains - A fault domain is a logical group of underlying hardware that share a
common power source and network switch, similar to a rack within an on-premises
datacentre

• Update domains - An update domain is a logical group of underlying hardware that can
undergo maintenance or be rebooted at the same time.

• Managed Disk fault domains - For VMs using Azure Managed Disks, VMs are aligned with
managed disk fault domains when using a managed availability set. This alignment ensures
that all the managed disks attached to a VM are within the same managed disk fault domain
