As an administrator, you have to take care of VMs that host different workloads and applications. In the easiest scenario, you do not have to take care of HA in terms of geo-redundancy. In other words, as long as you do not have to replicate the machines across regions, the easiest way to ensure everything works is using Availability Sets. However, Availability Sets only give you the option to secure against failed updates. When it comes to a data center failure, you need a more sophisticated feature. This is where Availability Zones (AZs) come into play. In this section, we will implement an AZ for our VMs to make sure they can survive even a region-wide disaster.

Overview of this book
Microsoft Azure is one of the upcoming cloud platforms that provide cost-effective solutions and services to help businesses overcome complex infrastructure-related challenges. This book will help you scale your cloud administration skills with Microsoft Azure.
Learn Azure Administration starts with an introduction to the management of Azure subscriptions, and then takes you through Azure resource management. Next, you'll configure and manage virtual networks and find out how to integrate them with a set of Azure services. You'll then handle the identity and security for users with the help of Azure Active Directory, and manage access from a single place using policies and defined roles. As you advance, you'll get to grips with receipts to manage a virtual machine. The next set of chapters will teach you how to solve advanced problems such as DDoS protection, load balancing, and networking for containers. You'll also learn how to set up file servers, along with managing and storing backups. Later, you'll review monitoring solutions and backup plans for a host of services. The last set of chapters will help you to integrate different services with Azure Event Grid, Azure Automation, and Azure Logic Apps, and teach you how to manage Azure DevOps.
By the end of this Azure book, you'll be proficient enough to easily administer your Azure-based cloud environment.
