Hello

I have Azure hybrid infrastructure , some of my servers hosted on Azure and some of my servers in my on-premises.

I will implement Azure site recovery for my servers hosted on azure on different region but for the servers located in my premise , i need to configure Azure site recovery for them.

I have 5 on-premise datacenters and all of them have servers hosted

what is the best practice to make my Azure and on-premise servers failover to the same region ?

    Hello @yasser Mohamed AbdelMoneim - Thank you for reaching out to us!

    As I understand your scenario, you've hybrid set up with few VMs hosted on Azure and a few on-premise. You are now planning to enable disaster recovery (DR) = Azure Site Recovery for VMs in Azure, also servers on-premise.

    For your requirement you can leverage the same Recovery Services Vault (RSV) to enable Site Recovery for your Azure VMs and servers on-premise.

    Scenario/requirement - Suggestions:

    For VMs hosted on Azure:

    You have VMs in Azure, region (US East) and you want to enable Site Recovery so, you create a Recovery Services Vault in (US West) and start replicating your VMs from (US East) region to (US West) region. When you perform a test/planned failover, your VMs will spin up and made available in US West. Doc reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/azure-to-azure-how-to-enable-replication

    For Servers on-premise:

    For servers on-premise, you can follow the guidance here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/physical-azure-disaster-recovery

    To ensure Azure VMs and on-premise servers failover to the same region, you need to leverage the same Recovery Services Vault that you created in (US West) for Azure VMs. That way, when you failover your Azure VMs and on-premise servers, the VMs will get created in (US West) region.

    Hope this clarifies!

    I would be more than glad to assist your further if you have any questions in this matter!
