● Geographies. Answer: A discrete market, typically containing two or
more regions. They tend to preserve data residency and compliance
boundaries. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/global-
infrastructure/regions/
● Regions. Answer: A collection of data centres deployed within a
latency-defined perimenter. These data centres are connected through a
dedicated low-latency network. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-
au/global-infrastructure/regions/
● Availability Zones. Answer: A separate physical location within an
Azure region. Known as an AZ, it is made up of one or more data
centres, aligning to the Uptime Institute for data centre tier certifications.
They are used to provide high availability and disaster recovery.

● Resource Groups. Answer: A logical construct that helps group
multiple resources together. Resources will include specific objects that
align to an Azure service. For example, a virtual machine, a virtual
network and a key vault are all objects that align to Azure Virtual
Machine service, Azure Virtual Network service and Azure Key Vault
, service respectively. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-

● Azure Resource Manager. Answer: Allows you to manage your Azure
tenancy, deploy services and deploy and manage resources.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-
manager/resource-group-overview
● Availability Sets. Answer: A logical group for isolating virtual
machine resources, so that they run across multiple physical servers,
compute racks, storage units and network switches. They eliminate
single point of failure in your infrastructure architecture.

machines/windows/tutorial-availability-sets
● Azure Monitor. Answer: Provides telemetry data from your Azure and
on-premise cloud environments. This includes activity logs, diagnostic
logs, alerts and metrics. Alerts are driven by alert rules.

● Azure Service Health. Answer: Provides real-time information on the
health status of your Azure services. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-
