 # Azure Key Vault availability and redundancy
 
 Azure Key Vault features multiple layers of redundancy to make sure that your keys and secrets remain available to your application even if individual components of the service fail.

-The contents of your key vault are replicated within the region and to a secondary region at least 150 miles away, but within the same geography to maintain high durability of your keys and secrets. For details about specific region pairs, see [Azure paired regions](../../availability-zones/cross-region-replication-azure.md). The exception to the paired regions model is single region geo, for example Brazil South, Qatar Central. Such regions allow only the option to keep data resident within the same region. Both Brazil South and Qatar Central use zone redundant storage (ZRS) to replicate your data three times within the single location/region. For AKV Premium, only 2 of the 3 regions are used to replicate data from the HSM's.

-If individual components within the key vault service fail, alternate components within the region step in to serve your request to make sure that there is no degradation of functionality. You don't need to take any action to start this process, it happens automatically and will be transparent to you.

 There are a few caveats to be aware of:
 
-* In the event of a region failover, it may take a few minutes for the service to fail over. Requests that are made during this time before failover may fail.
-* If you are using private link to connect to your key vault, it may take up to 20 minutes for the connection to be re-established in the event of a failover.
