Step Sequence / Reordering Question
Add and arrange the steps in the correct execution order.
Hotspot Solution:
Before GRS to be able to initiate failover Then initiate failover To mee the requirement of being able to go fail back to the previous region we need to enable GRS. For the last point see justification below with the reference to MS docs: "After the failover, your storage account type is automatically converted to locally redundant storage (LRS) in the new primary region. You can re-enable geo-redundant storage (GRS) or read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) for the account."
Written by other learners. Comments can disagree with the marked answer — check the official documentation when in doubt.
Why the other combinations are wrong? Doing ZRS before or after → ZRS does not support customer-initiated failover at all (as of 2025). “After a failover, configure zone-redundant storage” → breaks future failback capability. Skipping the final “re-enable GRS” step → leaves the account without a secondary, preventing clean failback.

Why to configure again the GRS after the fail over?
