I have two virtual machines running in two separate cloud services. If they would have run in the same cloud service, I could have used an availability set to make sure both machines couldn't be brought down at the same time for planned maintenance, but that isn't possible across cloud services.
Can virtual machines in two separate cloud services within the same subscription be taken down for maintenance at the same time, or how does maintenance planning work between cloud services?
The reason I run them in separate cloud services, even though they are exact replications of each other, is because I want to be able to give each individual machine a custom DNS-name. Would there be a way to do that, even if i kept them in the same cloud service? In that case I could use availability set to avoid this issue.
