Azure File Storage DR strategy for private endpoint

Question

I have a File share in Azure storage account which is mounted as a persistent volume on the AKS cluster. The storage account has a private endpoint and is GRS enabled. How do i implement the DR strategy in the event of a failover?

Some of the concern areas being,

1. Do i need to manually create a private endpoint in the secondary(new primary) region once the failover process is completed?
2. How do my AKS cluster which is in region 1 access the azure file share as a persistent volume in new primary region , i.e Region2 with the private endpoint ?

Thanks

Hi, for failover the private endpoint will automatically connect to the new primary storage instance after the failover process has completed.

You should not need to do anything else other than initiate the failover even though the storage account is failed over to a different region. It will just take some minutes for this process to complete.
