Availability of virtual machines
• Planned Maintenance• Periodic Updates• Security Update
• Unplanned Maintenance• Hardware or Physical Failure• Network• Local Disks• Rack Level Failure
Fault Domain , Update Domain
•Update Domain: Define group of virtual machines that will be update (could require restart)
VMs within same UD could be restarted due planned maintenance
•Fault Domain : define the group of virtual machines that share a common power source and network switch
Best Practice for High Availability
• Configure multiple virtual machines in an Availability Set for redundancy• Configure each application tier into separate Availability Sets• Combine the Load Balancer with Availability Sets• Avoid single instance virtual machines in Availability Sets
Recovery Point Objective• The acceptable time window of lost data due to the recovery process
Recovery Time Objective• The maximum amount of time allocated for restoring application functionality.
Azure Backup Methods
•Azure Backup agent (Any VM or Physical)•System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM)•Azure Backup (VM extension)
