How to Replicate, Restore, and Fail over Using Hyper-V Nested Virtualization on Azure
Disaster recovery presumes the presence of at least one secondary site that is referred to as a disaster recovery site. A remote datacenter can be considered as a disaster recovery site (DR site). However, a hot DR site comes with its own high costs. What should you do if you don’t have a remote datacenter as the DR site, but you might need to recover your environment in a very short time? At present, you can use cloud environments from the top vendors as a disaster recovery site, store backups and VM replicas there, and run your virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud if disaster strikes. You are required to have VM replicas if you want to perform VM failover in a short period of time, and migrate workloads of the primary site to the DR site in case of failure. Hyper-V virtual machines is not an exception. Today’s blog post explains how to failover Hyper-V VMs to Azure by using NAKIVO Backup & Replication.
