    Hi @Sanjay Kumar Pandey ,

    no. It's not possible to combine Availability Set and Availability Zones in an Azure VM configuration.

    There reason is:

    Availability sets place VMs in different fault domains in the same Azure data center zone (on different hardware). In an Availability Zone the VMs are placed in different zones/data centers in the same Azure region (on different hardware).

    Details:

    What is an availability set?

    What are availability zones?
