The new Azure Regions in France are part of our global portfolio of 42 regions announced,
which offer the scale needed to bring applications closer to users and customers around the
world. We continue to prioritize geographic expansion of Azure to enable higher performance
and availability, meet local regulatory requirements, and support customer preferences
regarding data location. The new regions will offer the same enterprise-grade reliability and
performance as our globally available services combined with data residency to support the
digital transformation of businesses and organizations in France.

Azure Backup is now available in Azure France. The service is available in both France Central
and France South.

Azure Backup enables zero-infrastructure backup and recovery of your data in the Microsoft
Cloud. Azure Backup enables Azure IaaS VM backup. It can also replace your existing on-
premises or off-site backup solution with a cloud-based solution that is reliable, secure, and
cost-competitive.
