Correct answer: No.
Why this is the answer
No, deploying VMs to two or more scale sets does not inherently ensure service availability if a single data center fails. Azure scale sets manage a group of identical, auto-scaling VMs within a single Azure region. While scale sets provide high availability within that region by distributing instances across fault domains and update domains, they do not protect against a regional or data center-wide outage. To protect against a single data center failure, you would need to deploy VMs across multiple Azure Availability Zones within a region, or across multiple Azure Regions, using services like Azure Traffic Manager or Azure Front Door to direct traffic to the healthy deployment.
