Description

Geo-replication is now Generally Available for Azure App Configuration.

This feature allows you to replicate your configuration store to the regions of your choice.  Changes to key-values are synchronized across each replica with eventual consistency.  This feature provides multiple advantages:

  • Added resiliency for Azure outages:  Applications consuming configuration data can rely on replicas in unaffected regions in case of an outage in one of the regions.
  • Reduced latency:  Having replicas located closer to your users leads to quicker response times and improved data flow.
  • Distributed request load: Locating replicas in multiple regions allows you to distribute the request load and reduce the risk of exhausting request limits.
