Microsoft details Azure resiliency tools and governance

Microsoft has described a new Azure resiliency approach that combines platform infrastructure, recovery services, observability, and automation for regulated and sovereign environments.

• Microsoft says Azure resiliency is built around three pillars: infrastructure resiliency, data resiliency, and cyber recovery, with customers sharing responsibility for architecture, recovery objectives, and compliance-aligned configuration.
• The article says Azure Infrastructure Resiliency Manager was introduced at Microsoft Build 2026 and is in public preview; it brings together Azure Advisor, Azure Chaos Studio, Azure Monitor, and Resiliency in Azure, with the Resiliency Agent generating IaC templates and supporting automated backup and recovery workflows.
• It also explains Azure’s zone-first design, paired and non-paired region strategies, and the use of Azure Site Recovery and Azure Backup for application continuity, restore-based recovery, and sovereignty-constrained environments.
