Q

Availability sets

A

Comprise of update and fault domains

Q

Region pair

A

Each azure region is paired with another region in the same geography at least 300 miles away.

This allows for the replication of resources (such as VM storage) across a geography that helps reduce the likelihood of disruption due to natural disasters, power outages, network outages.
