A
Availability Zone (AZ)
Definition
(Context: Data Center Facility, Technology Management)
An availability zone (AZ) is a subdivision within a cloud region that is designed to maximize fault tolerance and availability. AZs are made up of one or more data centers that are separated by significant distances, often miles apart. This separation reduces the likelihood that more than one AZ will be affected by a disaster, such as a power outage or natural disaster.
