Multi-Region Compute Fleet (Preview)
Important
Multi-Region Compute Fleet is currently in preview. Previews are made available to you on the condition that you agree to the supplemental terms of use. Some aspects of this feature may change prior to general availability (GA).
Multi-Region Compute Fleet is a cloud deployment capability that allows you to dynamically distribute workloads across several regions, ensuring scaling, enhanced fault tolerance, and optimized performance.
This feature eliminates the constraints of regional dependencies, letting your applications thrive wherever the demand takes them. You can use this capability through a number of ways: running a stateless web service, large batch jobs, a big data cluster, or a continuous integration pipeline. Workloads such as financial risk analysis, log processing, or image rendering can benefit from the ability to run hundreds of thousands of concurrent cores or instances.
Prerequisites
To use Multi-Region Compute Fleet, you must sign-up for Azure Compute Fleet preview features. After you complete the sign-up form and are approved, you will be contacted with next steps and onboarding details.
