Explanation

Proximity placement groups enable the grouping of different VM types under a single network spine, ensuring optimal low network latency between them. When the first VM is deployed in proximity placement group, that VM gets bound to a specific network spine. As all the other VMs that are going to be deployed into the same proximity placement group, those VMs get grouped under the same network spine. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sap/workloads/proximity-placement-scenarios
