Resilience is built into the Azure environment by design consisting of High Availability - Maintaining acceptable continuous performance despite temporary failures in services, hardware, datacenters, or fluctuations in load. Disaster recovery - Protection against loss of an entire region through asynchronous replication for failover of virtual machines and data using services such as Azure Site Recovery and geo-redundant storage (GRS) Backup - Replication of virtual machines and data to one or more regions using Azure Backup.
