Microsoft adds Southeast Asia to Azure Availability Zones

The software vendor's cloud customers in Southeast Asia now can tap its Azure Availability Zones in Singapore, giving them access to a region with at least three separate physical data locations.


Microsoft has added Southeast Asia as an Azure Availability Zone, enabling customers in the region to access its cloud services which are hosted on at least three separate physical data locations.

Served out of its Azure Region in Singapore, the expanded cloud zones are now "generally available" to the Southeast Asia Azure region, Microsoft's Singapore cloud and enterprise lead Patrik Bihammar said in a blog post on Monday.

According to the software vendor, Availability Zones are physically separate locations within an Azure region, with each comprising of at least one datacentre equipped with its own independent power, cooling, and networking.

To ensure resiliency, Bihammar said, a minimum of three separate zones have been established in all the enabled regions, a move that aims to safeguard applications and data from datacentre failures.

He added that this further strengthens Microsoft's cloud capabilities to meet the needs of customers in both the public and private sectors, as well as provide a portfolio to support customers in the development of applications for their business continuity and disaster recovery efforts.

"By building application architecture using a combination of Availability Zones with Azure region pairs, customers can synchronously replicate applications and data using Availability Zones within an Azure region for high-availability within Singapore, and asynchronously replicate across Azure regions for geographic disaster recovery protection," he explained.

Microsoft's cloud environments adhere to several certification requirements, including Level 3 of the Multi-Tier Cloud Security (MTCS) Standard for Singapore, which is a cloud security standard that cuts across multiple tiers of cloud security.

The US software vendor currently operates 54 Azure regions worldwide.

Other cloud players also have been talking up their plans to expand in the Asia-Pacific region, including Google, which recently announced plans to open new cloud regions in Osaka and Hong Kong, bringing its total to seven by early-2019. Google in May added its third cloud zone in Singapore and later, in August, said it was building its third data center in the city-state.

Alibaba Group has also been ramping up its cloud action, launching a slew of cloud products for the global market in August 2018 and earmarking Asia-Pacific as a priority region for growth. Of the Chinese vendor's 10 international datacentre regions, eight are located in Asia-Pacific including Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. It also operates eight regions in China.

  1. There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
