Azure VM SLAs description is wrong for Availability Zones

Hi,

at Azure VMs SLAs page SLA for Virtual Machines | Microsoft Azure the following sentence is not correct or misleading:

"For all Virtual Machines that have two or more instances deployed across two or more Availability Zones in the same Azure region, we guarantee you will have Virtual Machine Connectivity to at least one instance at least 99.99% of the time."

It is not correct because a Virtual Machines can be put in only one Availability Zone. It should be enough to put two VMs in a same Availability Zone to have the required redundancy that allow at least 99.99% of SLA. Isn't it ?

Thanks
Antonio

    I think the SLA document should be updated since it is a bit misleading.
