We have two KeyVaults (US East KV and US West KV). We would like to setup automatic failover to other region if any one of the regions goes down or unavailable. Any recommendations?

    @Sujay KV

    Thank you for your post!

    When it comes to your Key Vaults availability and redundancy, based off your current Vault regions (East / West US), you should already be set-up for automatic failover across regions since East US is paired with West US to support cross-region replication based on proximity and other factors. For more info.

    In the regions that don't support automatic replication to a secondary region, you must plan for the recovery of your Azure key vaults in a region failure scenario. To back up and restore your Azure key vault to a region of your choice, complete the steps that are detailed in Azure Key Vault backup.
