Azure Networking

Question

Hello All,

I have three node cluster. Two node running on on-premises and one node running on Azure.

Now when there is complete shutdown at on-premises my cluster will be down but i can move the resources to Azure node. but there is cluster name IP -virtual Ip associated with the cluster name. how we can brought this up on Azure node. so there shouldn't be issue with the after failover to azure or even after failback resources from Azure to on premises, once site is up.

Regards

Jagdish

Thank you for reaching out.

I understand that you have a three-node cluster with two nodes running on-premises and one node running on Azure. In case of a complete shutdown at on-premises, you can move the resources to the Azure node. You want to know how to bring it up on the Azure node to avoid issues after failover to Azure or even after failback resources from Azure to on-premises once the site is up.

I think Using Azure Traffic Manager in this scenario will be a good choice.

Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based traffic load balancer. This service allows you to distribute traffic to your public facing applications across the global Azure regions. Traffic Manager also provides your public endpoints with high availability and quick responsiveness.

A very similar site recovery scenario Azure <-> On-prem is described in this article here

When Azure Traffic Manager detects that the Primary endpoint is no longer healthy, it automatically uses the Failover endpoint in the DNS response and users connect to the application recovered on Azure.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
