Configuring Azure Web App Disaster Recovery

Question

I am tasked with configuring Azure Web App Disaster Recovery for my POC backend that is connected to a database. Can someone provide me with steps and references on how to configure it in case of a planned or unplanned event?

Answer 1

Ideally you’ll want to deploy an identical web app and supporting architecture in another region to combat DR scenarios with something like Front Door so you can benefit from priority routing if one region goes down.

Here’s a referenced architecture for that setup and how it’d look:

This is also a really great read in general, but specifically the heading around disaster recovery will go into detail for you on this subject around web apps as well:

Hope this helps, please mark as accepted if you feel it has.
