Enabling Geo-replication for Disaster Recovery

Abstract

In the previous few chapters, we defined a comprehensive set of nonfunctional requirements for a Hyperscale database environment and then set about deploying it. This included creating the starting environment, deploying the Hyperscale database into the virtual network using a private endpoint, and enabling transparent data encryption with a customer-managed key. We also took a look at how DBAs can manage the Hyperscale database from within the virtual network. In this chapter, we will demonstrate how to configure the environment to continue to function in case the primary region is inaccessible by deploying a geo replica of our primary database to a different Azure region.
