Availability Sets — FDs, UDs, when AS still applies
VM AZ design — zonal vs zone-redundant, latency, AZ-aware LB, SLA
Capacity Reservation Groups (CRG) — guarantee capacity for critical/DR VMs
Azure Dedicated Hosts — host groups, isolation, BYOL, maintenance control
Proximity Placement Groups — co-locate for ultra-low latency
Azure Scheduled Events via IMDS — react to host maintenance
