74
What is a geography?
It is a discrete market typically containing two or more regions that preserve data residency and compliance boundaries.
75
What are availability zones?
They are physically separate datacenters within an Azure region.
76
What is a region pair?

77
What are the four common techniques for performing **compute** in Azure?
* virtual machines * containers * azure app service * serverless computing
78
What are **virtual machines**?
They are software emulations of physical computers.
79
What are **containers**?
They are a virtualization environment but, unlike a virtual machine, they do not include an operating system. Instead, they reference the operating system of the host environment that runs the container.

It is a **cloud-hosted execution environment** that runs your code but **completely abstracts** the underlying **hosting environment**.
82
What's an availability set?
It is a logical grouping of **two** or **more** VMs that ensure your application remains **available** during **planned** or **unplanned** **maintenance**. Azure creates two fault domains (two racks each having dedicated power and network resources), and five logical update domains.
