There are a number of possible ways to create a reliable Azure application with availability zones that meet both SLAs and reliability targets. Follow the steps below to choose the right approach for your needs based on technical and regulatory considerations, service capabilities, data residency, compliance requirements, and latency.

To achieve business continuity and disaster recovery within the same region and when there **is no regional pair**, we highly recommend that you configure your workload with zone-redundancy. A single-region approach is also applicable to certain industries that have strict data residency and governance requirements within the same Azure region. To learn how to replicate, failover, and failback Azure virtual machines from one availability zone to another within the same Azure region, see [Enable Azure VM disaster recovery between availability zones](/azure/site-recovery/azure-to-azure-how-to-enable-zone-to-zone-disaster-recovery).
