- yread 10y agoWhat do you mean? Azure regions are in separate locations. Let's consider how many scenarios (datacenter power loss, earthquake, floods) lead to a failure of azure region vs AWS zone/region. Surely, floods and such have higher probability of taking down all availability zones in one AWS region (say Ireland) than taking down Ireland and Netherlands Azure zone at the same time?
