Get started more easily with Azure Site Recovery and take advantage of integrated Azure Automation:
Disaster Recovery Workflows are now supercharged. For recovery into Azure, create scripts using your Azure Automation subscription and call those scripts during your disaster-recovery drill or failover using the new Recovery Plan that is integrated with Azure Automation. Also, a new experience lets you monitor the progress of your Initial Replication to Azure after you start protecting your virtual machine to Azure.
Azure Site Recovery has a greatly simplified setup experience to help you get started more easily—no more manual creation of certificates or pairing the certificates. Just download the vault credentials and use those during setup. It is as secure as before, yet much simpler than before.
