 Failures can range from software and hardware failures to events such as earthquakes, floods, and fires. Tolerance to failures is achieved with redundancy and logical isolation of Azure services. For more detailed information on availability zones in Azure, see [Regions and availability zones](/azure/availability-zones/az-overview).
 
-Azure availability zones-enabled services are designed to provide the right level of reliability and flexibility. They can be configured in two ways. They can be either zone redundant, with automatic replication across zones, or zonal, with instances pinned to a specific zone. You can also combine these approaches. For more information on zonal vs. zone-redundant architecture, see [Build solutions with availability zones](/azure/architecture/high-availability/building-solutions-for-high-availability).

 This guide describes how to migrate Virtual Machines (VMs) and Virtual Machine Scale Sets from non-availability zone support to availability zone support. We take you through the different options for migration, including how you can use availability zone support for Disaster Recovery solutions.

+- **Zonal**: VM resources are deployed to a specific, self-selected availability zone to achieve more stringent latency or performance requirements.
