Scale & Backup region
#
ScaleThe scale section helps the deployments to scale or extend to a new region or add a backup region for the deployments. The locations can be selected using a search bar with filters.
Note: Multiple regions can be selected and deployed together. It has three indicators namely, active regions, available regions and backup regions.
An active region is a region that is provisioned for you app
An available region is a region that is available to be provisioned
A backup region is a region where the app is deployed as a backup for high availability and disaster recovery purposes
