What is failover?
Failover: Automatically switching to a standby component or site when the active one fails, so service continues with little interruption. It depends on health checks to detect failures and on standby capacity being ready.
Failover: an example
When the primary database becomes unreachable, the replica is promoted and applications reconnect within seconds.
