Azure Files with ZRS

Problem
When we create a storage account with Azure Files, it is always LRS. We need more redundancy! Because what use is it to deploy a host pool zone redundantly if the storage is then only in one zone?

Description
Extend the choice of Storage Account SKU, not just Standard or Premium, but also to zone availability.

Vision
When creating the storage account, you can select PERFORMANCE Standard or Premium and the availability.  However, we need at least the following:
- Standard_LRS
- Standard_ZRS
- Premium_LRS
- Premium_ZRS

Optionally also other redundancies (GRS....). But I see the greatest need with ZRS.

As I said, as soon as we make the host pool redundant, I think the storage account should be too. If it hits the wrong zone, my hosts are still running, but all profiles lose the storage.
