Highly Available VM Deployment Guide

This document discusses how to deploy highly available virtual machines in Azure. It recommends placing VMs into availability sets to ensure they are distributed across fault and update domains for redundancy. An availability set will distribute the VMs across different hardware hosts, power sources, and switches to prevent downtime if any single component fails. The document provides an overview of availability sets and fault/update domains, and demonstrates how to create an availability set and deploy VMs into it using the Azure portal, PowerShell, or CLI. It also offers best practices like creating a virtual network and network security group before deployment.
