Setting up Failover Group in Azure SQL Managed Instance

Learn how to create a Failover Group between two Azure SQL Managed Instances. A failover group is a disaster recovery mechanism that allows all user databases within an Azure SQL Managed Instance to fail over as a unit to another Azure region, in case the primary SQL Managed Instance becomes unavailable due to a primary region outage. The video will cover the main pre-requirements and necessary Azure resources to build it properly.
