**Guidance**
-VPN Gateway uses service health alerts to notify about planned and unplanned maintenance.
+When using zone-redundant SKUs for VPN Gateways (VpnGw*AZ), make sure that you associate your gateway with zone-redundant Standard SKU public IP addresses. If a VPN gateway is associated with zonal Standard SKU public IP addresses, all the gateway instances are deployed in the same zone as the IP address(es). This recommendation applies to both active-passive gateways (which use a single public IP address) and active-active VPN gateways (which use two public IP addresses).

The Azure NetApp Files replication functionality provides data protection through cross-region volume replication. You can asynchronously replicate data from an Azure NetApp Files volume (source) in one region to another Azure NetApp Files volume (destination) in another region. This capability enables you to fail over your critical application if a region-wide outage or disaster happens.

+Certain SMB-based applications require SMB Transparent Failover. SMB Transparent Failover enables maintenance operations on the Azure NetApp Files service without interrupting connectivity to server applications storing and accessing data on SMB volumes. To support SMB Transparent Failover for specific applications, Azure NetApp Files supports the SMB Continuous Availability shares option.

+- FSLogix user profile containers
+- FSLogix ODFC containers
+- Microsoft SQL Server
+- MSIX app attach
