Support for Availability Sets is now available with Premium SSD v2 (Pv2) disk storage in regions without Availability Zones: Australia Southeast, Canada East, North Central US, UK West, West Central US and West US.
Pv2 disk delivers low-latency, consistent performance with the flexibility to scale throughput and IOPS independently, making it ideal for a broad spectrum of enterprise production workloads including SQL Server, Oracle, SAP, and big data environments. It is particularly well suited for customers seeking to optimize performance and cost across diverse workloads, without over-provisioning.
By enabling Availability Set support, customers in these regions can now achieve higher availability and fault tolerance for their Pv2-backed workloads, even in the absence of Availability Zones.
