    Hello @Sayeeda ,

    Only Application gateway cannot be used for DR(Disaster recovery) scenario. You have to use Traffic Manager to distribute traffic across multiple application gateways in different datacenters/regions for failover capability.

    Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

    HI @Sayeeda
    Zone-redundant Application Gateway v2
    Application Gateway is Zone redundancy: An Application Gateway or WAF deployment can span multiple Availability Zones, removing the need to provision separate Application Gateway instances in each zone with a Traffic Manager. You can choose a single zone or multiple zones where Application Gateway instances are deployed, which makes it more resilient to zone failure. The backend pool for applications can be similarly distributed across availability zones.
