New Azure region: Switzerland
Posted On September 3, 2019
Microsoft has announced the availability of the new Azure data-centers in Switzerland. With 2 data-centers in Switzerland, Zurich and Geneva, Azure has created a full region (West and North)

Microsoft worked together with several Swiss companies as early adopters to improve cloud adoption in Switzerland. As this region is fairly new it might take some time before all Azure and Office 365 services are available.
If you would like to start deploying resources in Azure, it might be that you don’t have access yet. During the initiation phase it is required to request access before you can start utilizing resources in Switzerland. Request access to Azure Switzerland
Tom Keane, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Azure:
Today, we’re announcing the availability of Azure from our new cloud regions in Switzerland. These new regions and our ongoing global expansion are in response to customer demand as more industry leaders choose Microsoft’s cloud services to further their digital transformations. As we enter new markets, we work to address scenarios where data residency is of critical importance, especially for highly regulated industries seeking the compliance standards and extensive security offered by Azure.
