Server 1

Fault and Update DomainsFault Domains–Represent groups of resources anticipated to fail together–i.e. Same rack, same server–Fabric spreads instances across fault at least 2 fault domains

Update Domains–Represents groups of resources that will be updated together–Host OS updates honour service update domains–Specified in service definition–Default of 5 (up to 20)
