In Availability Set, select Create availability set (Optional). When a virtual machine is a member of an availability set, it is deployed to different fault domains as other virtual machines in the set. Multiple virtual machines in an availability set make sure that your application is available during network failures, local disk hardware failures, and any planned downtime. If you are creating an availability set, enter the name for the availability set.
