Disaster Recovery in Microsoft Azure

[@k1kxxz]

Came for a DR lesson, got a Solutions Architecture Masterclass 🥰 Amazing job! Keep it up

[@jaganorissa]

Love from India 🙏 This is the only video available in the internet which explains in depth about DR.

[@alexanderyarushin3665]

This is the most fundamental topic set beside the scalability and security. Fantastically well projected to Azure! Thank you!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you John, I currently studying to AZ-304 exam, it would be nice to pass by the end of the year. Your videos helping me a lot, please never stop instructing Azure, you are a treasure! :)

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thanks and good luck ☁️🤙💪

[@TANVEER991164]

Thanks for such a great lesson on DR. I am planning to make DR plans for my production environment, this lecture will certainly help me with my plans.

[@sylvaincr5871]

I'm passing my az104 this year, and this session is really excellent technically. thanks very much

[@johnozarchuk2128]

Thank you so much for this. I am scoping a DR application setup for a client, and this was super helpful!

[@rabb3255]

Great content. I am going to have a 'John Savill' day on Friday to go through as many videos as possible.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Good luck!

[@lj7894]

Thxs John! Did a successful DR test on Sunday! Lots to learn, especially with setup of NSGs and Peering

[@NTFAQGuy]

Awesome

[@bendz1032]

Loving your work John! Another classic, many thanks for making these videos, it is most appreciated.

[@shayanGhani.]

Mind-blowing content I might be starting to learn Azure instead of AWS just because of U man, fr. much love and respect ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@ahmadl-zahrani2993]

Thanks again John, wonderful work. I love how you recaped at the end and mentioned the challenges with active active. And how you always keep this technical focused not mentioning availability KPIs and its commerical prespective.

[@NTFAQGuy]

👍

[@Z1ncite]

Thanks John for this insightful session on DR. Loved the whole overview. My fav part of your sessions are the little knowledge nuggets you drop on other topics (eg: Public IP will change if region changes). Keep it coming !

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thanks!

[@meatycash7819]

Great video, you take all the randomness and bring order. Great t-shirt, very fitting, love it!

[@NTFAQGuy]

[@NTFAQGuy]

Good luck

[@marcelo306g5]

Wow! Men that's was a great explanation about disaster recovery. This video was very useful to me to undertand the diferent kind of disaster recovery scenarios and I know now is important to be sure about where the state of my app is. Thanks a lot. You got another subscriber

[@MarkDunn]

I appreciate this video. I am currently moving 30 VMware VM's to Azure DR, and it's been a struggle.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad I could help!

[@idrisfl]

The real-life scenarios based examples were great, it really sticks in your head 😃

[@NTFAQGuy]

Lol, thanks

[@shivareddybattula5082]

Thank you John for the detailed explanation about Disaster Recovery. It helped me in a great way to gain the knowledge. Keep going.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thanks! 🤙

[@hardikdesai24]

lovely explanation of DR. Cannot be more simple than this. Thanks John.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Such a masterclass, thank you so much for this invaluable information.

[@NTFAQGuy]

You're very welcome!

[@imadbensisaid8016]

Thanks John for this session, best explanation of DR

[@The_Waraba]

What do you mean its horrible ? I like clicking ! You bring a good point, I have decided even for my labs to get into the habit of using Infra as code for learning purposes.

[@cma9br]

Active-active scenario is the best solution. I've already had some issues, but with no downtime.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Yep if your architecture allows :-)

[@mtz-cr6nn]

Very well explained. Thanks John

Now this is what I call teaching

[@MrJourfixe]

Thanks John. Fantastic content delivered in detailed and structured was as always. Cheers!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thank you

[@rups7vision]

Very well articulated ! Thank you for sharing this !

[@va55ag0]

In the recreation side, how do you deal with resources that have to have globally unique names? KeyVaults and Storage Accounts etc.? Do I have to recreate the infrastructure, then update my environment variables before deploying my workloads onto the new infra?

[@NTFAQGuy]

In a region disaster for key vault it would fail over to the other region you are not recreating. Same for storage if you pick GRS etc. If you go the recreate option then yes use parameter files.

[@harrymatheson1813]

This was a fantastic presentation. Thanks!

Thank you. I don’t discuss future content :)

[@davidpike5959]

Brilliant video as ever John! What's that screen you're using? Might be able to befuddle the budget y'see :) (If anyone knows, please chip in- appreciated!)

[@NTFAQGuy]

There is a playlist of setup. There is link to it in the description of this video

[@ZPDrift]

Good video. I still don’t quite trust azure for some DR recoveries eg for VM’s - in that when Azure fails , it fails in funny ways. For example the inability to start VM’s globally which was an issue last week (or the week before). It doesn’t quite feel as each region (or availability zones) are as independent of one another as they should be. And therefore I try factor that into my DR strategy etc

[@Andre-qn7ns]

Thanks for the video, John!

[@bcloudengineers]

This is beautiful cross region architecting no matter the CSP

[@PracticingPhotography]

Here is a thought - is it crazy? What if you create an active-active-active.... setup and failover to follow the sun. If peaks in usage will follow time zones, would creating scheduled auto-failovers to follow the workload be a good idea? This would definitely keep your active setups up-to-date and know that each one can handle the workloads.

[@michapicheta4006]

VERY good lecture!

[@NTFAQGuy]

Glad you think so!

[@mohammedpasha3649]

In the case of using ASR for disaster recovery of virtual machines from one Azure region to other region , should the IP address space of target VNET (may be from a different subscription) be same as the source VNET , to avoid re-configuring the IP once the VM is recovered on the target site? Also, can I have two subscriptions (mapped to same Azure AD tenant) with same VNET IP address range (for disaster recovery scenario), wherein 2nd subscription is like a DR subscription.

[@NTFAQGuy]

you can automate IP change as part of the failover

[@mohammedpasha3649]

@@NTFAQGuy what needs to be done if I want to use the same IP on target region(subscription)?

[@martincayer2615]

Thank you John. Very informative.

Thank you, glad it’s useful

Is this content really free?? It's amazing! Thanks John

[@olegshalnov1028]

As usual - Amazing job! in 53:42 - what if: Region1 = US, Regoin2 = EU, what to do with the DB latency? (Database MS SQL on VMs) What is the best way to split the load or what is the best way to replicate it? Active-Active MSSQL?

[@NTFAQGuy]

Depends on workload tolerance and the nature of workload. Question too generic to answer. Ask more detailed at next ama :). Sql is not active active normally.

[@karthiks8612]

Good discussion

[@qiongli8887]

wow, so clear, so well explained and insightful video, really thanks

[@soucianceeqdamrashti8175]

Ever thought of starting a podcast? And discuss all things Azure related..Anyway great video!

Welcome

[@raymondgwjones]

Hi John, love the videos! I was wondering if was possible whether you could post the whiteboard diagrams you draw in the videos. Would be helpful to refresh my memory on the videos in future. Thanks

[@NTFAQGuy]

check the description ;)

[@raymondgwjones]

@@NTFAQGuy Thanks John! I guess I'm blind 😂

[@NTFAQGuy]

Lol :D so I tend to upload whiteboards to my random stuff repo if they get to a certain level of complexity :) just for future reference. Sometimes I forget to update the link when I put the video live so shout :)

that was awesome.

[@notoriousft]

Great video as usual.

[@NTFAQGuy]

Thank you!

[@johnthompson3530]

Great video.

[@darrenwest7156]

Great stuff again John. Was wondering, how do you deal with logical disaster, like ransomware? In that scenario you may struggle to attain the RTO/RPO as even synchronous data is useless. How do you deal with that scenario from an SLA perspective? Thanks

[@NTFAQGuy]

I have another video where I talk about those types of attack

[@tonic316]

love the tshirt haha

[@NTFAQGuy]

Hehe got it just for this video :)

[@eyadslman]

thank you for your efforts, is the same plan if we are going to plan DR from on-prem to Azure cloud?

[@NTFAQGuy]

very similar concepts.

yes, read the video description.
