Failover Groups — Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect (AZ-305) Practice Questions
Failover groups in Azure provide an automatic failover mechanism for Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance, enabling a named listener endpoint that redirects connections to the primary or secondary region transparently after a failover event. AZ-305 tests the design of failover group configurations, including read-write and read-only listener endpoints, failover policies, and grace period settings. Architects must understand the difference between manual and automatic failover, and how failover groups combine with geo-replication to deliver business continuity.
