 ## Region and availability zone considerations
 
 You can create virtual machine scale sets regionally or in one or more availability zones to help protect them from datacenter-level failure. To learn more about multizonal virtual machine scale sets, see [Virtual machine scale sets that use availability zones](../virtual-machine-scale-sets/virtual-machine-scale-sets-use-availability-zones.md).

 ## View VM allocation with the Instance View
 
 After the `capacityReservationGroup` property is set, an association now exists between the VM and the group. Azure automatically finds the matching capacity reservation in the group and consumes a reserved slot. The capacity reservation's Instance View reflects the new VM in the `virtualMachinesAllocated` property:

 ### Use of Reserved Instances with shared Capacity Reservation Groups 
 Sharing a Capacity Reservation Group doesn't alter the scope of any Reserved Instances or Savings Plans. If either the CRG or the VM is deployed from a scope not covered by prepaid discounts, the pay-as-you-go price is charged.
