Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Azure guarantee that Apps running in a customer subscription will be available 99.95% of the time Service Credit Monthly Uptime Percentage Service Credit < 99.95% is 10%: < 99% is 25% For full SLA see: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/app-service/v1_4/
Approach to resilience
Regional pairs are enabled by default in Windows Azure Storage, helping to ensue that applications are resilient during data centre failures. In regional pairing, Azure asynchronously replicates data from a primary location to a secondary location within the same region. An Azure region is an area within a geography containing one or more data centres.
