Description of Feature or Work Requested

- **placement** `is a new top-level  VM property that allows the user to create a zonal VM, where the optimal zone will be decided by Azure. This new property will contain three fields: zonePlacementPolicy, includeZones, excludeZones. Customer can only pass this property during VM creation time (New-AzVM) and this property cannot be changed later. We will need to introduce a new parameter for az vm create cmdlet, called Placement to support this feature.`
-  **alignRegionalDisksToVMZone** `is new property under vm.properties.storageProfile, that allows the regional disks currently attached (or going to be attached) to the VM to be converted to zonal. Currently this flag is only supported for AnyZone VM. We will need to add a new parameter for az vm creatre, az vm update commands, called alignRegionalDisksToVMZoneto support this feature. `
