Across Azure, *reliability* means maintaining resiliency and availability if there's a service outage or degradation. In Cognitive Search, reliability is achieved when you:

All workloads are fully contained within a single service that runs in a single geographic region. Within a region, you can configure search to use multiple replicas that run in different availability zones.

For business continuity and disaster recovery, you should develop a strategy that includes a cross-regional architecture, consisting of multiple search services having identical configuration and content. Your custom script or code provides the "fail over" mechanism to an alternate search service if one suddenly becomes unavailable.
