Minimising the blast radius from logical changes (software & config) that get rolled out at an AZ-level.

Their descriptions[0] however promise zones have a "high degree of independence from one another in terms of physical and logical infrastructure". Just how well separated this physical zonal infrastructure was remains to be seen ...
