 Azure [availability zones](../availability-zones/az-overview.md#availability-zones) are physically separate locations within each supporting Azure region that are tolerant to local failures. Failures can range from software and hardware failures to events such as earthquakes, floods, and fires. Tolerance to failures is achieved because of redundancy and logical isolation of Azure services. To ensure resiliency, a minimum of three separate availability zones are present in all [availability zone-enabled regions](../availability-zones/az-overview.md#azure-regions-with-availability-zones).
