 - For optimized performance, choose either **UltraPerformance** gateway or **ErGw3Az** gateway, and enable [FastPath](../expressroute/expressroute-howto-linkvnet-arm.md#configure-expressroute-fastpath) from a private cloud to Azure NetApp Files volumes virtual network. View more detailed information on gateway SKUs at [About ExpressRoute virtual network gateways](../expressroute/expressroute-about-virtual-network-gateways.md).
 - Based on your performance requirements, select the correct service level needed for the Azure NetApp Files capacity pool. See [Service levels for Azure NetApp Files](../azure-netapp-files/azure-netapp-files-service-levels.md) to understand the throughput allowed per provisioned TiB for each service level.
 - Create one or more volumes based on the required throughput and capacity. See [Performance considerations](../azure-netapp-files/azure-netapp-files-performance-considerations.md) for Azure NetApp Files to understand how volume size, service level, and capacity pool QoS type will determine volume throughput. For assistance calculating workload capacity and performance requirements, contact your Azure VMware Solution or Azure NetApp Files field expert. The default maximum number of Azure NetApp Files datastores is 64, but it can be increased to a maximum of 256 by submitting a support ticket. To submit a support ticket, see [Create an Azure support request](../azure-portal/supportability/how-to-create-azure-support-request.md).
--  Work with your Microsoft representative to ensure that the Azure VMware Solution private cloud and the Azure NetApp Files volumes are deployed within the same [availability zone](../availability-zones/az-overview.md#availability-zones).  
+-  Ensure that the Azure VMware Solution private cloud and the Azure NetApp Files volumes are deployed within the same [availability zone](../availability-zones/az-overview.md#availability-zones). Information regarding your AVS private cloud's availability zone can be viewed from the overview pane within the AVS private cloud.
