How to lookup the availability zone used for a storage account?

Question

I have a LRS storage account, and I am wondering how to lookup the availability zone placement of this resource?

Answer 1

@Joost van Doorn LRS Accounts do not support Availability Zones. If you want AZ Support, you need to migrate to ZRS. Please look for more details here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/reliability/migrate-storage

Hi,

Azure Storage accounts can be placed in a specific availability zone to provide higher levels of availability and data durability.

You can look up the availability zone placement of an Azure Storage account by using Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell.

First, you'll need to check if the storage account is "zonal" or "regional". "zonal" storage account is associated with an availability zone,"regional" storage account is associated with a region.

You can use the code to check the placement az storage account show --name <storage_account_name> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --query 'zones' or Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName <resource_group_name> -Name <storage_account_name> | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Zones`

Hope this helps. JS
