Availability Zones are distinct facilities within a metro that are engineered to be isolated from failures in other Availability Zones. Customers want the ability to deploy to Availability Zones so they can operate production applications, databases, and services that are more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than would be possible from deploying to a single facility.
