Be more resilient and drive innovation
Resilience goes beyond just avoiding failures — it's about responding effectively to disruptions to minimise downtime and prevent data loss. Building reliable systems on Azure requires a collaborative approach, bringing together Microsoft and your business. Whether you're just beginning your cloud journey or looking to enhance your current setup, Azure offers the tools and support to help you achieve your business reliability goals. View the infographic to see how we can support your path to resilience, and reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
What is Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)?
Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) is a feature that provides redundancy within a single datacenter. It safeguards against hardware malfunctions or software update cycles, ensuring that your single-instance virtual machines (VMs) remain available and resilient.
How can I optimize costs while ensuring application availability?
To optimize costs while maintaining application availability, start by defining your resiliency requirements based on your business needs. Recognize that not all applications require 100% high availability. Design your recovery strategy to address zonal, regional, and application-level failures, and test your implementation by simulating faults to ensure effectiveness.
What is the role of disaster recovery in cloud services?
Disaster recovery in cloud services involves protecting against the loss of an entire region through asynchronous replication. This allows for failover of virtual machines and data using services like geo-redundant storage and Azure Site Recovery. It's important to plan for these contingencies to ensure that your operations can continue smoothly in the event of a large-scale disaster.
