Maintenance window availability

Choosing a maintenance window in Azure SQL Database other than the default is currently available in certain regions, depending on the option to enable zone-redundancy.

Availability depends on whether your database is configured to be zone redundant. Zone-redundant availability ensures your data is distributed across multiple Azure availability zones in the primary region. Data spans two or three zones, selected by Azure SQL for optimal resilience. The zones are in separate physical locations with independent power, cooling, and networking. For up to date information about the regions that support zone-redundant databases, see Services support by region.

Maintenance window availability for databases that are not zone redundant

The following table is for databases that are not zone-redundant. For databases in an Azure Availability Zone, see the table for zone-redundant databases.

Serverless region availability

Serverless is a compute tier for single databases in Azure SQL Database that automatically scales compute based on workload demand and bills for the amount of compute used per second. For more information, see Serverless compute tier for Azure SQL Database.

Serverless for General Purpose and Hyperscale tiers is available worldwide, except the following regions:

  • China East
  • China North
  • Germany Central
  • Germany Northeast

Currently, all regions with serverless support 40 vCores and provide availability zones. Some regions also support up to a maximum of 80 vCores for General Purpose and Hyperscale tiers and availability zone support according to the following table:

Americas

| Azure Region | Supports 80 vCore maximum | Availability zone support for 80 vCores| |:---|:---|:---|:---| | Brazil South | [!INCLUDE yes] | [!INCLUDE yes] | | Brazil Southeast | [!INCLUDE yes] | | | Canada Central | [!INCLUDE yes] | [!INCLUDE yes] | | Canada East | [!INCLUDE yes] | | | Mexico Central | [!INCLUDE yes] | | | Central US | [!INCLUDE yes] | [!INCLUDE yes] | | East US | [!INCLUDE yes] | [!INCLUDE yes] | | East US 2 | [!INCLUDE yes] | [!INCLUDE yes] | | North Central US | [!INCLUDE yes] | | | South Central US | [!INCLUDE yes] | [!INCLUDE yes] | | West Central US | [!INCLUDE yes] | | | West US | [!INCLUDE yes] | | | West US 2 | [!INCLUDE yes] | [!INCLUDE yes] | | West US 3 | [!INCLUDE yes] | [!INCLUDE yes] |
