From Downtime to Resilience: Learn Azure Site Recovery (Hands-On)

Disaster Recovery is no longer optional — it’s a core cloud design requirement.
Join us for a hands-on Azure Site Recovery (ASR) session where you’ll learn how to design, implement, and validate a cloud-native Disaster Recovery strategy to protect Azure Virtual Machines across regions.
This session is practical, real-world focused, and aligned with how DR is implemented in production environments—not just theory or slides.
