About this tag
Azure Extended Zones coverage on WindowsForum.com follows Microsoft's effort to place selected Azure cloud and AI capabilities closer to specific countries and regions, including a partnership with POST Luxembourg that puts services inside a national operator's data-centre infrastructure.
