Hello all!
I am looking forward to get some guidance on how to extend my on-prem AO AG into Azure for the purpose of DR.
How do the steps usually go? I am using Azure ASR to failover to Azure and failback to on-prem.
My questions are -
1. When I want to "test failover", how can I achieve to see whether my on-prem app can connect to the Azure replica, without affecting the daily operations?
2. Will the copy on Azure be Synchronous or asynchronous? Can we use a sync copy if we're failing over through an Express Route (low latency)?
3. Will the replica automatically start replicating to my primary AG once it is up on prem? Is this affected by whether the Azure copy is sync or async?
I only have a basic understanding of SQL, so a feedback is much appreciated!
Cheers
