## Availability zones
2929

30-
Azure [availability zones](../reliability/availability-zones-overview.md) are physically separate locations within an Azure region that are tolerant to datacenter-level failures. Each zone is composed of one or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking infrastructure. To ensure resiliency, a minimum of 3 separate availability zones are present in all availability zone-enabled regions.

Enabling [zone redundancy](../reliability/migrate-api-mgt.md) for an API Management instance in a supported region provides redundancy for all [service components](api-management-key-concepts.md#api-management-components): gateway, management plane, and developer portal. Azure automatically replicates all service components across the zones that you select. Zone redundancy is only available in the Premium service tier.

When you enable zone redundancy in a region, consider the number of API Management scale [units](upgrade-and-scale.md) that need to be distributed. Minimally, configure the same number of units as the number of availability zones, or a multiple so that the units are distributed evenly across the zones. For example, if you select 3 availability zones in a region, you could have 3 units so that each zone hosts one unit.

## Multi-region deployment

With [multi-region deployment](api-management-howto-deploy-multi-region.md), you can add regional API gateways to an existing API Management instance in one or more supported Azure regions. Multi-region deployment helps reduce request latency perceived by geographically distributed API consumers and improves service availability if one region goes offline. Multi-region deployment is only available in the Premium service tier.

# Migrate Azure API Management to availability zone support

The Azure API Management service supports [zone redundancy](../reliability/availability-zones-overview.md), which provides resiliency and high availability to a service instance in a specific Azure region. With zone redundancy, the gateway and the control plane of your API Management instance (management API, developer portal, Git configuration) are replicated across datacenters in physically separated zones, so they're resilient to a zone failure.
