Hi ,

I recently converted one of the MSSQL DB to a Serverless vCore purchase option. However, there is no option to make the database zone redundant. This also happened with Elastic Pool with vCore purchase.

Our old databases have the option to make the DB Zone redundant.

Kindly provide how to enable the zone redundant
