Availability Set conf

Hi 

No you have to change the high availability option to availabilty zone if you want to prevent datacenter outage .

Availability set give you options to have fault domains and update domains to prevent outage due to  unplanned, planned maintenance or an hardware failure inside the datacenter . Now if you want  your workloads to be accessible  in case of a datacenter  failure you need to put your VM in an availability zone or replicate your vms using Azure Site Recovery . Availability Zones are fault-isolated locations within an Azure region, providing redundant power, cooling, and networking . So the difference is while availabilty sets are logical and  scoped to a datacenter,  availability zones are unique  physical locations within a region. Each zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.
