Use each [service reliability guide](./overview-reliability-guidance.md) to understand the capabilities of the service, decide which tiers to use, and determine which capabilities to include in your high availability strategy.

Review the service level agreements (SLAs) for each service to understand the expected levels of availability and the conditions you need to meet. You might need to select or avoid specific tiers of services to achieve certain levels of availability. Some services from Microsoft are offered with the understanding that no SLA is provided, such as development or basic tiers, or that the resource could be reclaimed from your running system, such as spot-based offerings. Also, some tiers have added reliability features, such as support for [availability zones](availability-zones-overview.md).

For this reason, backup recovery should be used as a last resort and a disaster recovery plan should specify the sequence of steps and recovery attempts that must take place *before* restoring from a backup. It's important to make sure that the workload RPO is aligned with the backup interval.
