Default zone of Virtual Machine in Azure


While deploying a VM in Azure. If I choose a region ex. "Central India" which is having support of Availability zone, but I am not choosing that option while deploying. Then what will be the default zone in which the VM get deployed?

I think it will be zone 1, please correct me if I am wrong.


Solution

  • I tried to reproduce the same in my environment got results like below:

    I deployed virtual machine and I choose region as Central India by default it's support of Availability zone as zone 1 without selecting an option of zone like below:

    To confirm in portal, once vm deployed it supported as zone 1 like below:
