High Availability

Availability of virtual machines

• Planned Maintenance• Periodic Updates• Security Update

• Unplanned Maintenance• Hardware or Physical Failure• Network• Local Disks• Rack Level Failure

Fault Domain , Update Domain

•Update Domain: Define group of virtual machines that will be update (could require restart)

VMs within same UD could be restarted due planned maintenance

•Fault Domain :  define the group of virtual machines that share a common power source and network switch

Best Practice for High Availability

• Configure multiple virtual machines in an Availability Set for redundancy• Configure each application tier into separate Availability Sets• Combine the Load Balancer with Availability Sets• Avoid single instance virtual machines in Availability Sets
