-Unless you configure the business process assignment with SAP functionalities lik Logon Groups, RFC Server Groups, Batch Server Groups, and similar, business processes can be executed in the different application instances across your SAP application layer. The side effect of this fact is that batch jobs might be executed by any SAP application instances independent on whether those run in the same zone with the active database instance or not. If the difference in network latency between the difference zones is small compared to network latency within a zone, the difference in run times of batch jobs might not be significant. However, the larger the difference of network latency within a zone, compared to across zone network traffic is, the run time of batch jobs can be impacted more if the job got executed in a zone where the DBMS instance isn't active. It's on you as a customer to decide what acceptable differences in run time are. And with that what the tolerable network latency for cross zones traffic is for your workload. Purely from a technical point of view, the network latencies between Azure Availability Zones within an Azure region work for the architecture of NetWeaver, S/4HANA, or other SAP applications. It's also on you as a customer potentially to mitigate such differences using the SAP concepts of Logon Groups, RFC Server Groups, Batch Server Groups, and similar when you decide for one of the deployment concepts we're introducing in this article.
