Multi-Region Disaster Recovery Solution
Traffic Manager failover across paired regions
Overview
A multi-region Azure architecture where Traffic Manager routes users to the healthy region and fails over automatically when endpoint probes go dark. App Services, Azure SQL, and Storage accounts are geo-redundant across the region pair, and scheduled DR tests prove the runbook works before an incident ever needs it.
Engineering focus
Failover is only real if it has been rehearsed. Endpoint probe configuration, DNS TTL, and database failover groups are what actually decide recovery time.
