Azure Storage Account geo-replication to China Azure DataCenter China Azure region

I tried to geo-replicate my storage account which is in East Asia region (Hong Kong location) to China Azure DataCenter (China North, China East) but I couldn't find the China DataCenter while creating stroage account geo-replication.

Can you please tell me how can I do this?

Solution

  • Can you please tell me how can I do this.

    Simple answer is that you can't. There are 2 reasons for that:

    1. You can't select a region for geo-replication. It is automatically selected by Azure for you.
    2. Even if you were able to do so, your particular scenario for geo-replicating between Azure General and Azure China will not work as Azure China is a special region and you can't create an Azure Subscription there just like that (same goes for Azure Germany and Azure Government).
