Description

We are excited to announce the GA support to force detach ZRS data disks from a stand-alone Virtual Machine or Virtual machine scale sets residing on a zone impacted by failure. Customers will now be able to detach the ZRS data disks and attach them to another VM, decreasing the RTO. Please note that the feature is NOT supported for ZRS OS disks.

Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) synchronously replicates your Azure managed disk across three Azure availability zones within the region providing 99.9999999999% (12 9's) of durability over a given year. Zone redundant storage (ZRS) option for Azure managed disks is supported on Premium SSDs and Standard SSDs.
