If you want to deploy an SAP NetWeaver or S/4HANA system across zones, there are two architecture patterns you can deploy:

-
- Active/active: The pair of VMs running ASCS/SCS and the pair of VMs running the daqtabase layer are distributed across two zones. The number of VMs running the SAP application layer are deployed in even numbers across the same two zones. If a database or ASCS/SCS VM is failing over, some of the open and active transactions might be rolled back. But users are remaining logged in. It doesn't really matter in which of the zones the active database VM and the application instances run. This architecture is the preferred architecture to deploy across zones. In cases where network latencies between zones are causing larger differences when executing business processes, SAP functionalities like Logon Groups, RFC Server Groups, Batch Server Groups, and similar can be used to route the execution of the business processes to specific dialog instances that are in the same zone with the active database instance

- Active/passive: The pair of VMs running ASCS/SCS and the pair of VMs running the database layer are distributed across two zones. The number of VMs running the SAP application layer are deployed into one of the Availability Zones. You run the application layer in the same zone as the active ASCS/SCS and database instance. You can use this deployment architecture if you deem the network latency across the different zones being too high, And with that causing intolerable differences in the runtime of your business processes. Or if you want to use Availability Zone deployments as Short Distance DR deployments. the zones. If an ASCS/SCS or database VM fails over to the secondary zone, you might encounter higher network latency and with that a reduction of throughput. And you're required to fail back the previously failed over VM as soon as possible to get back to the previous throughput levels. If a zonal outage occurs, the application layer needs to be failed over to the secondary zone. An activity that users experience as complete system shutdown.

So before you decide how to use Availability Zones, you need to determine:
@@ -161,7 +161,7 @@ The following considerations apply for this configuration:

161
- When you use this architecture, you need to monitor the status closely, and try to keep the active database instance and SAP Central Services instances in the same zone as your deployed application layer. If there was a failover of SAP Central Service or the DBMS instance, you want to make sure that you can manually fail back into the zone with the SAP application layer deployed as quickly as possible.

- You should have production application instances preinstalled in the VMs that run the active QA application instances.
163
163
- In a zonal failure case, shut down the QA application instances and start the production instances instead. You need to use virtual names for the application instances to make this work.

- For the load balancers of the failover clusters of SAP Central Services and the database layer, you need to use the [Standard SKU Azure Load Balancer](../../load-balancer/load-balancer-standard-availability-zones.md). The Basic Load Balancer sin't working across zones.

- The Azure virtual network that you deployed to host the SAP system, together with its subnets, is stretched across zones. You don't need separate virtual networks for each zone.

- For all virtual machines you deploy, you need to use [Azure Managed Disks](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/managed-disks/). Unmanaged disks aren't supported for zonal deployments.

- Azure Premium Storage, [Ultra SSD storage](/azure/virtual-machines/disks-types#ultra-disks), or Azure NetApp Files don't support any type of storage replication across zones. For DBMS deployments, we rely on database methods to replicate data across zones
