Azure includes built-in reliability services that you can use and manage based on your business needs. Whether it’s a single hardware node failure, a rack level failure, a datacenter outage, or a large-scale regional outage, Azure provides solutions that improve reliability. For example, availability sets ensure that the virtual machines deployed on Azure are distributed across multiple isolated hardware nodes in a cluster. Availability zones protect customers’ applications and data from datacenter failures across multiple physical locations within a region. **Regions** and **availability zones** are central to your application design and resiliency strategy and are discussed in greater detail later in this article.
