Description

Yesterday, we announced the general availability of the Microsoft Azure Australia Geo, including the Australia East Region in New South Wales and the Australia Southeast Region in Victoria. Azure customers in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) can now host their services in these regions, and will experience improved performance in the form of lower latency and the ability to keep their data in-country with the benefits of Geo Redundant Storage. We are currently offering promotional pricing for the Standard D-Series Virtual Machine instances. Any future price increases will be announced with 30 days’ notice. Visit azure.microsoft.com for comprehensive information on the pricing detail pages and service description pages. For more information, please visit The Official Microsoft Blog.
