(RTP-25057)

POS API runs in Azure, and in each region (datacenter) there are 3 Zones available.

  • Each zone is completely separate from each other with their own power supply cables, cooling systems, network/internet connection and maintenance plan.
  • When Azure upgrades they will do it Zone by Zone. 

To avoid outages caused by hardware problems or caused by Azure upgrades in a zone, the POS API runs in a Zone Redundant group.

To be able to run in a zone redundant group, the POS API always runs with a default/minimum of 3 instances. (It can be scaled out to further instances if the load is high)

Microsoft guarantees that they won't do upgrades on multiple Zones at the same time, so if there are any issues with Zone 1, then Zones 2 and 3 will still operate as usual.
