Azure is engineered for incredible resilience—triple-redundant storage, always-on databases, and global scale. But do you really know how it behaves under failure? Misunderstanding Azure’s resilience model can lead to catastrophic gaps in your disaster recovery strategy.

In this session, we’ll explore what actually happens when things go wrong—from a single disk failure to an entire Azure region being taken offline by a geopolitical event. You’ll learn which services failover automatically, which don’t, and what you must design for to keep your business running when disaster strikes.

Key Takeaways:

Understand Azure Resilience: How Microsoft protects data and services—and where the limits are.

Know the Failure Scenarios: From disk failures to full region outages (yes, even extreme events).

Build a Real DR Strategy: What fails over, what doesn’t, and how to close the gaps.

Plan for the Unthinkable: Best practices for business continuity in worst-case scenarios.
