+# Understand cross-zone replication of Azure NetApp Files
 
 In many cases resiliency across availability zones is achieved by HA architectures using application-based replication and HA, as explained in [Use availability zones for high availability](use-availability-zones.md). However, simpler, more cost-effective approaches are often considered by using storage-based data replication instead.  
 
 Similar to the Azure NetApp Files [cross-region replication feature](cross-region-replication-introduction.md), the cross-zone replication (CZR) capability provides data protection between volumes in different availability zones. You can asynchronously replicate data from an Azure NetApp Files volume (source) in one availability zone to another Azure NetApp Files volume (destination) in another availability. This capability enables you to fail over your critical application if a zone-wide outage or disaster happens.

 ## Requirements and considerations 
 
 * The cross-zone replication feature uses the [availability zone volume placement feature](use-availability-zones.md) of Azure NetApp Files.
-    * You can only use cross-zone replication in regions that support the availability zone volume placement. [!INCLUDE [Azure NetApp Files cross-zone-replication supported regions](includes/cross-zone-regions.md)]
 * To establish cross-zone replication, you must create the source volume in an availability zone.  
 * You can’t use cross-zone replication and cross-region replication together on the same source volume.
 * You can use cross-zone replication with SMB and NFS volumes. Replication of SMB volumes requires an Active Directory connection in the source and destination NetApp accounts. The destination AD connection must have access to the DNS servers or AD DS Domain Controllers that are reachable from the delegated subnet in the destination zone. For more information, see [Requirements for Active Directory connections](create-active-directory-connections.md#requirements-for-active-directory-connections).

+
+    Cross-zone replication allows you to replicate your Azure NetApp Files volumes asynchronously from one Azure availability zone (AZ) to another within the same region. Using technology similar to the cross-region replication feature and Azure NetApp Files availability zone volume placement feature, cross-zone replication replicates data in-region across different zones; only changed blocks are sent over the network in a compressed, efficient format. It helps you protect your data from unforeseeable zone failures without the need for host-based data replication. This feature minimizes the amount of data required to replicate across the zones, limiting data transfers required and shortens the replication time so you can achieve a smaller Restore Point Objective (RPO). Cross-zone replication doesn’t involve any network transfer costs and is highly cost-effective.
