Currently, two VMs are running the company's patient and employee systems. These systems are running in the West US region. You've been asked to protect the infrastructure by enabling it to be recovered to the East US region. Using Azure Site Recovery, you'll enable a Recovery Services vault to replicate the current workloads.
