Azure regional failure trigger to initiate DR workflow

Hi,

Is there any way Azure notifies when disaster strikes and a region goes down. Actually I have designed a DR workflow using Azure Automation account and Logic apps. The issue here is that based on which trigger/alert the logic app endpoint should get called and fire the failover runbooks.

I am just trying to avoid any manual intervention here to the extent possible.

Please advise.

    Hello, myloweslife

    Azure provides automated notifications and triggers for disaster recovery scenarios through services like Azure Monitor Alerts, Logic Apps, and Azure Automation. You can configure Azure Monitor to send alerts based on service health or resource issues, which can then trigger Logic Apps. In your Logic App, you can set up workflows to automatically call Azure Automation runbooks designed for failover processes. These runbooks contain the automation scripts necessary to handle disaster recovery actions without manual intervention. By integrating Azure Monitor alerts with Logic Apps and Azure Automation runbooks, you can automate and streamline your disaster recovery workflows effectively, ensuring quicker responses during critical incidents without needing constant human oversight.
