No

Question 8

Do all Azure services automatically replicate data or automatically fall back from a failed region to cross-replicate to another enabled region

Answer 8

No, needs to be configured by customer beforehand

Question 9

Are region pairs two directional?

Answer 9

• No, Most directions are paired in two directions, meaning they are the backup for the region that provides a backup for them (West US and East US back each other up). However, some regions, such as West India and Brazil South, are paired in only one direction

Question 10

how do one direction pairings work

Answer 10

• In a one-direction pairing, the Primary region does not provide backup for its secondary region. So, even though West India’s secondary region is South India, South India does not rely on West India. West India’s secondary region is South India, but South India’s secondary region is Central India
