What Azure feature replicates resources across regions that are at least 300 miles away from each other?

• Region pairs

• Availability Zones

• Sovereign regions

Answer explanation

Most Azure regions are paired with another region within the same geography (such as US, Europe, or Asia) at least 300 miles away.

Availability Zones are fault-isolated locations within an Azure region that provide redundant power, cooling, and networking.

Certain regions are dedicated to specific sovereign entities. While all regions are Azure regions, these sovereign regions are completely isolated from the rest of Azure, are not necessarily managed by Microsoft, and may be restricted to certain types of customers. An example of a soverign region is:
