Haven't worked with Azure but if it's anything like Google cloud you won't be able to create a HA failover since it depends on L2. Only solutions I've heard of is to use Active-Active and use the loadbalancer from your cloud vendor to distribute traffic between the two. Just don't forget to setup proper health monitoring.

Perhaps someone with more experience in the area could chip in/validate?

    Thanks.

     

    Finally we built HA pair in same resource group. We gave up idea for different resources group as seems it didn't work. Yes this is L2 for HA, but you would need to add IP on Azure portal. It helps to build HA in same resource group.
