I was thinking of setting up SQL Server in Azure VMs.  But after Grant's reply, I may need to rethink that.

If I understand right, we are located in the central region.  I would like to set up secondaries on the east and west coast.

In addition to that I need to set up a secondary for reporting.  This was the reason that I was going to set up SQL server on a Azure VM.  This way I could create high availability groups and use a secondary as reporting database.

However, I don't believe the above situation gives me the secondaries with designated geo regions on east and west coast.

Thanks.
