Split in more then +60 Regions: (Not all regions are available for everyone)
Some Regions do have some normal access to them like China. The China region is run by a different Chinese company and in order to be able to access it you would need to have an agreement with that company.
Each region has one other region which is treated as it's "pair"
Almost always in the same geography - data storage laws
The data connection between region pairs is the highest speed available
Software rollouts are deployed to one region of a pair and the other is not touched
if multiple regions go down, one region of each pair is treated as a priority
Canada: Canada Central - Canada East
Europe: North Europe - West Europe
USA: East US - West US
USA: East US2 - Central US
USA: North Central US - South Central US
Brazil: Brazil South - South Central US
Regions are broken up further into Availability Zones You can choose to which Availability Zone in the Region you want to deploy too.
Each Availability Zone is separated from each other running on it's own power, cooling and network
So if there are issues with power or other similar stuff it's likely only to affect one of the Availability Zones but not the other/others
