Introduction
Azure Storage allows you to replicate data across regions for increased availability and resilience against failures.
You're an admin for a music-streaming service. Your organization uses Azure Blob Storage to store about two petabytes of audio-file data. You use zone-redundant storage to replicate the data across multiple availability zones in a single region. Uptime is important to you and your users. If your audio files aren't available, you might lose subscribers to another service. You have a plan in place to recover from a zone failure, but you want to explore other redundancy options that protect from region-wide outages. You also want to practice a storage failover.
By the end of this module, you'll see how to improve the availability of your data by replicating it across regions. You'll also start a failover to a secondary region.
Learning objectives
By the end of this module, you'll be able to:
- Choose the right Azure Storage redundancy option for your organization.
- Demonstrate how to initiate a storage account failover.
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of Azure Storage, which includes the use of storage accounts and Azure blobs
- (Optional) Access to an Azure subscription
