By default, customer data is replicated to the other paired regions for resiliency, but Microsoft doesn't replicate or move data outside the geography. For region with data residency requirements, customer data is always kept within the same region.

 ### Zone down experience
 During a zone-wide outage, no action is required during zone recovery. There may be a brief degradation of performance until the service self-heals and rebalances underlying capacity to adjust to healthy zones. During this period, you may experience 5xx errors and you may have to retry API calls until the service is restored.

 Azure Data Manager for Energy uses Azure Storage, Azure Cosmos DB and Elasticsearch index as underlying data stores for persisting your data partition data. These data stores offer high durability, availability, and scalability. Azure Data Manager for Energy uses [geo-zone-redundant storage](../storage/common/storage-redundancy.md#geo-zone-redundant-storage) or GZRS to automatically replicate data to a secondary region that's hundreds of miles away from the primary region. The same security features enabled in the primary region (for example, encryption at rest using your encryption key) to protect your data are applicable to the secondary region. Similarly, Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed data service, which replicates the metadata (catalog) across regions. Elasticsearch index snapshots are taken at regular intervals and geo-replicated to the secondary region. All inflight data are ephemeral and therefore subject to loss. For example, in-transit data that is part of an on-going ingestion job that isn't persisted yet is lost, and you must restart the ingestion process upon recovery.

 #### Set up disaster recovery and outage detection
 
 Azure Data Manager for Energy service continuously monitors service health in the primary region. If a hard service down failure is detected in the primary region, we attempt recovery before initiating failover to the secondary region on your behalf. We will notify you about the failover progress. Once the failover completes, you could connect to the Azure Data Manager for Energy resource in the secondary region and continue operations. However, there could be slight degradation in performance due to any capacity constraints in the secondary region.
