This article introduces Azure NetApp Files Elastic Zone-Redundant Storage (ANF Elastic ZRS), a cloud storage solution that ensures zero data loss and high availability across multiple availability zones. It features synchronous replication and automatic failover, making it suitable for mission-critical applications and enterprise environments.

Zone redundancy is now enabled by default for all Azure Container Registry (ACR) SKUs in regions that support Availability Zones, enhancing the resiliency of container artifacts without any additional cost or configuration required from users. This automatic upgrade protects against single-zone outages and applies to both new and existing registries. The Azure portal and CLI may not yet reflect this change accurately, but it is actively being addressed by Microsoft.
