I'm not sure what Nippon Telegraph & Telephone has to do with it, do you have a different NTT in mind?

Dimension Data NZ becomes NTT in grand rebranding (channellife.co.nz)

This is now available: Azure updates | Microsoft Azure

The first cloud region in New Zealand is now available with Azure Availability Zones and provides organizations across the globe with access to scalable, highly available, and resilient Microsoft Cloud services while confirming its commitment to promoting digital transformation and sustainable innovation in the country. The New Zealand region connects New Zealand to the largest and trusted global cloud infrastructure, delivering the highest standards of security, privacy and regulatory-compliant data storage in the country.

For customers looking to leverage the new region and Availability Zones, Azure offers region portability for multiple resources with Azure Resource Mover.

What's not awesome is that I'm now going to be required to move it all to NZ from the other regions haha.

The real question the bean counters will want to know is whether it is cheaper or more expensive than Sydney...

It is very SKU dependant I've found, for an equivalent SKU D4s v5 (4vCPU 16GB) Ubuntu with no reservation discount

$175.20 USD - Australia Southeast
$183.96 USD - New Zealand North
