 ## Azure Cache for Redis
 
 Azure Cache for Redis provides two distinct cross-region replication options: [active geo-replication](/azure/azure-cache-for-redis/cache-how-to-active-geo-replication) and [passive geo-replication](/azure/azure-cache-for-redis/cache-how-to-geo-replication). Neither option explicitly depends on region pairs.

+Site Recovery is a service that enables DR by replicating VMs and their data to a secondary region. You can select almost any Azure region as your secondary region, including nonpaired region combinations.

 Some applications create clusters or other constructs to replicate data and distribute work across multiple VMs, including in different regions. These applications can simplify the configuration of a multi-region solution.
