This I do not understand. I was also amazed when I saw that Azure AZs are not available on all regions. In AWS, the bare minimum is 2 AZs (except for one odd region). Same thing for Google Cloud.
- scarface74 8y agoFrom what I understand and I can't find the reference anywhere, each region has at least three availability zones. Some regions only have two user selectable AZ's. For instance, S3 promises that it is replicated between 3 AZ's in a region. That guaranteed is available in regions that only have two publicly available AZ's.
