Resiliency

Strengthen resiliency with strategies that keep workloads running through outages, cyber disruption, and sudden load changes.
Get started with Azure Find management solutions
Overview

Define, validate, orchestrate, and manage application resilience strategies with confidence

  • Define resilience targets for key workloads and proactively test failover through simulated outages. Monitor posture and performance from a unified view with resiliency capabilities in Azure.
  • Use guided experiences to identify single-zone risks, prioritize fixes, and automatically distribute critical resources across availability zones, so your applications can run continuously even during outages. Run predefined or custom failure drills to simulate real-world zonal outages without impacting production. Validate failover behavior, monitor recovery progress, and generate compliance-ready attestation reports
  • Built on a resilient platform, powered by integrated features, and shaped by your design as part of a shared responsibility model, Azure helps you achieve reliable, recoverable, always-on applications.
  • Safeguard critical data with air-gapped immutable backups, encryption, and secure access controls. Recover with confidence using threat detection for virtual machine (VM) workload backups.
  • Leverage built-in validation templates and deploy automated faults to execute drills with Chaos Studio. Export attestation reports for compliance and audit readiness.
