title: Geo Redundancy in Azure Service Fabric Applications
body: <p>I'm trying to come up with a solution for achieving Geo-Redundancy (2+ datacentres) while using Service Fabric reliable Actors/Services to manage state. It insinuates <a href="https://github.com/Azure/azure-content/blob/master/articles/service-fabric/service-fabric-reliable-services-backup-restore.md" rel="noreferrer">here</a> that geo replication is possible</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>This may happen when, for example, if you aren’t geo replicated and your entire cluster is in one data center, and the entire data center goes down.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>but doesn't explain how to switch it on.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know if it's a planned feature for ASF that just hasn't been released yet, or whether it's present but not fully explored yet?</p>
  
  <p>Alternatively does anybody have any recommended approaches for cross DC resilience when the state required to run the app is stored using ASF's StateManager?</p>
  
  <p>thanks,
  Alex </p>
