Q1 - No, Q2 - No, Q3 - No. Q2 Explanatiion: “Simply put, an Azure Region is a set of Datacenters that are connected through a dedicated low-latency network. How many datacenters does a region contain. Well, we do not have a fixed number. It varies. There are regions of different sizes. A Region could be made up of just 1 dataceneter or multiple datacenters. The point is, an Azure Region is a group of one or more Azure Datacenters.” References: https://www.pragimtech.com/blog/azure/azure-regions-and-paired-regions/

How can a REGION have just 1 Data Center when a REGION have Multiple ZONES and ZONES are expected to have multiple DATA CENTRES. A Region will most likely have at least 2 (Multi) Data Centers even if it doesn't have multiple Availability Zones. 1 Data Centre cannot make up a Region.

Don't see how https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/geographies/#overview This map shows that the Azure regions with and without availability zones, some regions don't have availability zones, so they can't have multiple datacenters when the requirement for a availability zones is at min, two datacenters.

Azure availability zones are physically separate locations within each Azure region and a minimum of three separate availability zones are present in all availability zone-enabled regions which means there are atleast 3 AZ in one Azure region and availability zones is/are composed of datacenter. That means, for sure there will be more than 3 data center in 1 region

Do not confuse between Region and Availability zone. Region A set of datacenters deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network. Availability Zone Unique physical locations within a region. Each zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.

But what about alternate (other) regions? Definition: A region that extends Azure's footprint within a data residency boundary where a recommended region also exists. Alternate regions help to optimize latency and provide a second region for disaster recovery needs. They are not designed to support Availability Zones (although Azure conducts regular assessment of these regions to determine if they should become recommended regions). These are designated in the Azure portal as Other. So no support for availability zones, so could only one.

The whole premise of moving your datacentre to the cloud, is to prevent a single-point-of-failure scenario and/or, to ensure high availability/scalability. So, for any right-thinking person to assume that ANY Azure region would only have one AZ containing only one DC, beggars some uncommon reasoning. The correct answers are: No - Yes - No.

nyn Azure Availability Zone Each zone is made up of one or more data centers equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking. The physical separation of Availability Zones within a region protects applications and data from datacenter failures.13

No, every Azure region does not have multiple data centers. Some specialized Azure regions, such as Azure Government regions, may have only one data center. However, most Azure regions have multiple data centers, which are grouped into availability zones.

Q2 should be NO. A region of Azure can potentially (theoretically) have one datacenter only because not all regions support availability zones, and you may have a region that has no AZs and just one datacenter. It's not ideal of Microsoft and it might be not real but it CAN happen. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/979491/azure-regions-with-only-one-data-center
