You plan to replicate on-premises VMware VMs to Azure using Azure Site Recovery and must support failback to the on-premises site. What should you deploy and where?

Correct answer: Deploy a Configuration Server on-premises (with the bundled Process Server) and an on-premises Master Target Server for failback..
Why this is the answer
For VMware VM replication to Azure with failback, Azure Site Recovery requires an on-premises Configuration Server. This server manages communication, replication policies, and orchestrates replication. It includes a bundled Process Server, which handles data caching, compression, and encryption before sending it to Azure. For failback from Azure to on-premises, a Master Target Server is essential. This server receives replicated data from Azure and writes it back to the on-premises VMware environment. Deploying the Configuration Server in Azure is incorrect as it needs direct access to on-premises VMware vCenter/vSphere. Azure Migrate is for migration, not ongoing replication with failback. The Master Target Server must be on-premises to write data back to the on-premises VMs.
