How Does The Table Api Handle Failover If A Region Goes Down? |
|
Answer» The Table API leverages the globally distributed platform of Azure Cosmos DB. To ensure that your application can tolerate datacenter DOWNTIME, enable at LEAST one more region for the account in the Azure Cosmos DB portal Developing with multi-region Azure Cosmos DB ACCOUNTS. You can set the priority of the region by using the portal developing with multi-region Azure Cosmos DB accounts. You can add as many regions as you want for the account and control where it can FAIL over to by providing a failover priority. Of course, to use the database, you NEED to provide an application there too. When you do so, your customers will not experience downtime. The latest .NET client SDK is auto homing but the other SDKs are not. That is, it can detect the region that's down and automatically fail over to the new region.
