Azure API Management uses a scale unit-based architecture to provide built-in redundancy. When you deploy an API Management instance, you configure one or more *scale units*, or *units*. Each unit is a logical representation of capacity that contains the necessary compute resources to handle API requests.

Azure API Management uses a scale unit-based architecture to provide built-in redundancy and scalability. When you deploy an API Management instance, you configure one or more *scale units*, or *units*. Each unit is a logical representation of capacity that contains the necessary compute resources to handle API requests.

When you configure an instance with two or more units, the available units work together to process requests and provide automatic load balancing. If one of the units becomes unavailable, the remaining units continue to handle traffic, but with potentially reduced capacity.

- *Multi-unit configuration (Recommended)* For maximum benefit of availability zones, we recommend that you deploy a minimum of three units, which can be distributed across all available zones in a region. Azure API Management makes a best effort attempt to spread your instance's units among the region's availability zones. There's no way to determine which availability zones your units are placed into.
