Is there any Azure region(s) that has only one data center? Which one(s)? Please note that I don't mean one Availability zone; I mean one data center?
Or is it ok to say that every Azure region has multiple data-centers?

As per MS learning path documentation a region can have one or more data centers. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/describe-core-architectural-components-of-azure/5-describe-azure-physical-infrastructure?ns-enrollment-type=learningpath&ns-enrollment-id=learn.wwl.azure-fundamentals-describe-azure-architecture-services
Hi,
Microsoft does not disclose information about the number of datacenters within the Availability zone. Public information about the infrastructure is here and here.
Please "Accept the answer" if the information helped you. This will help us and others in the community as well.
Thanks @Stanislav Zhelyazkov ! Maybe, I asked too much.
Actually I am trying to answer a True/ False question (in a question dump) that says "Every Azure region has multiple datacenters."
I suppose it is False, but I am not sure. Please add your insights. Thanks again.
I cannot say it is a true or false as that information is not shared publicly. Overall this information is irrelevant in architecture and design for Azure services as for availability and reliability important is availability zones. Where is this question coming from?
Sorry for late response, @Stanislav Zhelyazkov . This question is from a question dump for Azure certification exam (Not an official Microsoft question though).
For me that is irrelevant question about Azure even if it is from official exam.

MS, you have made this a question on the AZ-900 certification exam, you should release the information or change the question.

I agree with Glen, erased the question if this is gonna be secret... makes no sense.
