Hello Kaushik Nalla
No, zone redundancy is not automatically enabled for a Function App plan even if the Geo Region selected is zone-redundant.
Here's why:
- Azure Functions Pricing Tiers: Azure Functions offer various pricing tiers, each with different levels of redundancy and scalability options. The most basic tier, the Consumption plan, does not include zone redundancy by default.
- Explicit Configuration: To enable zone redundancy for your Function App, you need to explicitly configure it during the plan creation process. Azure provides options for choosing zone-redundant plans within specific pricing tiers that support this feature.
In summary:
- Zone redundancy is a configuration option for Function App plans within certain pricing tiers.
- Selecting a zone-redundant Geo Region does not automatically activate zone redundancy for your Function App.
Here are some additional points to consider:
- Zone Redundant vs. Zonal Deployment: Zone redundancy distributes your function app instances across multiple availability zones within the region, ensuring high availability even if a zone experiences an outage. Zonal deployment pins your function app instances to a specific zone.
- Pricing Implications: Zone-redundant plans typically come at a higher cost compared to non-redundant plans.
