Azure Application Insights provides support for failover by replicating data across multiple data centers within the same region. This ensures that even if one data center experiences an outage, your data will still be available in another data center.

When you create an Application Insights resource in Azure, you can choose the region where the resource will be located. Within that region, the data is automatically replicated across multiple data centers. This replication is done asynchronously, so there may be a slight delay in the data being available in all data centers.

In the event of an outage in one data center, Azure will automatically redirect traffic to another data center within the same region. This failover process is transparent to users and requires no manual intervention.

It is important to note that while Azure provides support for failover within a region, it is still recommended to have a disaster recovery plan in place in case of a region-wide outage. This could involve replicating data to a different region or using other Azure services such as Azure Site Recovery to provide additional failover options.

Sadanand Khatri, I assume that your question is about the availability zone and zone redundancy support for Application Insights (if your question is about something else, please share additional context to help us understand it better).

Application Insights supports Zone redundant resiliency, when it is workspace-based, and the workspace uses a dedicated cluster. For supported regions with this support, see the following link - Azure Monitor: Data resilience - supported regions

For more details, also see - Availability zone service and regional support.

Hope this helps. If your question was about something else, please share additional context/information to help us better understand it.
