Question
You have two Azure subscriptions. You plan to deploy virtual machines to both subscriptions. The virtual machines will host SAP workloads. As part of the deployment the virtual machines will be deployed to an availability zone named Availability Zone 1 in each subscription. You need to ensure that the virtual machines will reside in the same physical datacenter. What should you do first?
Options
- AUse the Check Zone Peers REST API.
- BDeploy the virtual machines to the same availability set.
- CDeploy the virtual machines to the same proximity group.
- DUse the List By Location REST API.

Explanation
Availability Zones are physically separate datacenters within an Azure region. Each Availability Zone is made up of one or more data centers equipped with independent power, cooling, and * proximity group A proximity placement group is a logical grouping used to make sure that Azure compute resources are physically located close to each other. Proximity placement groups are useful for workloads where low latency is a requirement. Placing VMs in a single region reduces the physical distance between the instances. Placing them within a single availability zone will also bring them physically closer together. However, as the Azure footprint grows, a single availability zone may span multiple physical data centers, which may result in a network latency impacting your application. To get VMs as close as possible, achieving the lowest possible latency, you should deploy them within a proximity placement group. A proximity placement group is a logical grouping used to make sure that Azure compute resources are physically located close to each other. Proximity placement groups are useful for workloads where low latency is a requirement. Low latency between stand-alone VMs. Low Latency between VMs in a single availability set or a virtual machine scale set. Low latency between stand-alone VMs, VMs in multiple Availability Sets, or multiple scale sets. You can have multiple compute resources in a single placement group to bring together a multi- tiered application. Low latency between multiple application tiers using different hardware types. For example, running the backend using M-series in an availability set and the front end on a D-series instance, in a scale set, in a single proximity placement group.
