I created a VM in AV zone for 2 . So I see it in "Location" section written "2" . What is the next step to make sure AV Zone configured correctly and is working ?

@taromielnaz if you see the zone listed as you mentioned there is nothing else you need to do. The VM is located in the zone you selected. If you have multiple VMs that you put into the same availability zone you can check the others to make sure they are where you requested. Besides that, there is nothing to test or more to configure. Availability zones just allow you to spread your VMs throughout the 3 zones. So nothing really to test per say

Does it mean that I have like a mirror of my VM in another region?

[mimckitt]

No that is not what it means. Take a look at the Availability Zones documentation that explains how they work and what they are

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/availability-zones/az-overview

Let me know if you have followup questions.

Thanks. Although documents are not clear, this case can be closed.

@taromielnaz if you have feedback on what is not clear in the docs I am happy to review and see if we can make them better. That is the whole point of this repo :)

For any documents that you find unclear you can always open an issue directly on the doc simply calling out what is not clear and what you propose be done in order to improve them. You can also submit PR against docs directly and the authors can review and merge the changes you yourself made so you get the credit.

Thanks, I will proceed with the link you sent.
