 Availability of services across Azure regions depends on a region's type. There are two types of regions in Azure: *recommended* and *alternate*.
 
-- **Recommended**: These regions provide the broadest range of service capabilities and currently support availability zones. Designated in the Azure portal as **Recommended**.
-- **Alternate**: These regions extend Azure's footprint within a data residency boundary where a recommended region currently exists. Alternate regions help to optimize latency and provide a second region for disaster recovery needs but don't support availability zones. Azure conducts regular assessments of alternate regions to determine if they should become recommended regions. Designated in the Azure portal as **Other**.
