Cloud High Durability and Disaster Recovery

 High Durability and Disaster Recovery (DR)

Your ability to recover from a disaster and to prevent the loss of data.  Solutions that recover from a disaster is known as Disaster Recovery (DR). This is achieved by high availability due to scalable solutions. These concepts are all related to each other.  The scalable and redundant solutions provide High availability which prevent the disaster recovery. Read more about related concepts of redundancy in High availability, and High Scalability 

Durability Parameters 

  • Do you have a backup? 
  • How fast can you restore that backup? 
  • Does your backup still work? 
  • How do you ensure current live data is not corrupt?

First foremost, subscribe to free Azure plan for portal, this will give you free access for some services for 30 days and for others 12 months access. you can browse through Azure portal and see its services. Exam expects 2 years experience of MS Azure, but if you just starting and want to go ahead with learning, you need to start from somewhere and this should be your first step. Take a Udemy course if you can buy one, go through all modules once.

However these courses are never comprehensive. you should go through them again and again if you are beginner or don’t have enough knowledge about a certain topic. you might want to go thro...

Cloud Basics - Availability and Redundancy

 High Availability  Your ability for your service to remain available by ensuring there is  *no single point Of failure and/or ensure a certain level of performance. High availability is achieved by replicating the images in multiple zones or data centres. So in case of any geo-disaster the alternative systems serve the users, hence it is called highly available. There are three types of redundancies: Local Redundancy Zone Redundancy Global/Geo Redundancy Local redundancy The default behaviour is locally replicating the data/resource images in multiple copies in the same datacentre. The resources by default have three copies. so if one copy fail to serve the other two are still available. This mode has less availability comparing to the other two but still it provides some piece of mind. Zones Redundancy  In this mode three copies of the resources are kept in three different zones or data centres in the same location/city. For example, UK West is a location which may...
