Supported cross-region replication pairs for Azure NetApp Files Volumes

Question

I would like to confirm when using Azure NetApp Files if I have a primary connection to Azure region US East and then a secondary connection to Azure region South Central US that I can setup cross-region replication for Azure NetApp Files volumes. If I am reading the following article below correctly those two regions are supported under an azure regional non-standard pair, correct? Assuming my assumption is correct, I'd need to follow all requirements and considerations and the article below to create cross region peering. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

@Ben Larew Thanks for reaching out on Microsoft Q&A.

Yes, you are correct. According to the Microsoft Learn article on cross-region replication of Azure NetApp Files volumes, Azure NetApp Files volume replication is supported between various Azure regional pairs and non-standard pairs.

East US and South Central US are supported under an Azure regional non-standard pair. You can replicate Azure NetApp Files volumes from Regional Pair A to Regional Pair B, and vice versa.

To create cross-region peering, you need to follow the requirements and considerations mentioned in the article on Create volume replication for Azure NetApp Files

Please check Requirements and considerations for using cross-region replication here.
