 Azure Site Recovery provides disaster recovery for Azure infrastructure by managing and orchestrating replication, failover, and failback of Azure virtual machines (VMs).

Your organization has recently suffered an outage because of building damage in your data center from a hurricane. You want to move this infrastructure to Azure and take advantage of the replication and recovery features available there. You have several virtual machines running in Azure already, and now wish to configure protection for them to fail over to a secondary Azure region if there's a disaster.

 When you enable replication for an Azure VM, the Site Recovery mobility service is installed as an extension on the VM. The installed extension registers the VM with Site Recovery. Continuous replication of the VM then begins, with any writes to the disk immediately transferred to a local storage account. Site Recovery uses this account, replicating the cache to a storage account in the destination environment.
 
-Site Recovery copies data stored in the cache and syncs it with either the target storage account or replicated managed disks. After the data is processed, crash-consistent recovery points are created. If app-consistent recovery points are enabled, they'll be generated on a schedule as set in the Site Recovery replication policy.

 Site Recovery can use accelerated networking for Azure VMs, reducing jitter and CPU usage.
 
 ### Disaster recovery drills
 
-Site Recovery enables you to do disaster recovery drills after all the prerequisite configuration tasks are complete. Running a DR drill allows you to validate the replication strategy for your environment without losing data, having downtime, or compromising your production environment. Drills don't affect your production environment and are a way to test that you've correctly configured everything.

+Azure Mobility Service needs to be installed on every VM that you replicate. This client is available for Windows and Linux VMs, and Site Recovery installs and configures it automatically. If the automatic installation fails, you can install the service manually.
 
 The mobility service works in partnership with Site Recovery to keep an up-to-date cache of the VMs' data. The cache is replicated to the target environment's storage account. The replicated data is used if Site Recovery fails over the environment.
