Remediation

Important Considerations​

  • Refer to the official Microsoft documentation for up-to-date guidance on limitations, replication options, and capabilities.
  • Always validate replication changes in a non-production environment before applying them in production to avoid service disruptions or data loss.

Switching to Geo-Redundant Storage​

Azure CLI​

az storage account update \
--name {{storage-account-name}} \
--resource-group {{resource-group-name}} \
--sku {{sku}}

PowerShell​

Set-AzStorageAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName "{{resource-group-name}}" `
    -Name "{{storage-account-name}}" `
    -SkuName "{{sku}}"

Note: To migrate to Geo-Zone-Redundant Storage (GZRS), you must first switch the account to GRS. Afterward, you can convert it to GZRS using the migration commands described in the next section.

Conversion to Zone-Redundant Storage​

A redundancy "conversion" is the process of changing the zone-redundancy aspect of a storage account to convert from LRS to Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS), or from GRS to Geo-Zone-Redundant Storage (GZRS).

Azure CLI​

az storage account migration start  \
-- account-name {{storage-account-name}} \
--resource-group {{resource-group-name}} \
--sku {{sku}} \
--no-wait

PowerShell​

Start-AzStorageAccountMigration
    -AccountName "{{storage-account-name}}"
    -ResourceGroupName "{{resource-group-name}}"
    -TargetSku "{{sku}}"
    -AsJob
