Hands-On-Lab for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

Hands-On-Lab Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

In this hands-on lab, you will implement three different environments and use Azure BCDR technologies to achieve three distinct goals for each environment type. These will include a migration to Azure, Azure region to region failover, and a PaaS implementation using BCDR technologies to ensure high availability of an application. At the end of this hands-on lab, you will be better able to build a complex and robust IaaS BCDR solution.
