Also called Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol.

Each book explains VRRP in context, with comparison tables and the common traps.
Terms in this definition
- Standard deployment type
A Foundry deployment type billed per token that keeps processing of prompts and responses inside the Azure geography of the resource, meeting data residency needs at lower volumes.
- Redundancy
So that hardware failures, datacentre outages or a regional disaster cannot destroy data, Azure Storage keeps multiple copies: only in the primary region with LRS and ZRS, or in a secondary region as well with GRS and GZRS.
- VMware Cloud Foundation
Broadcom's platform for private cloud. It unifies management of NSX, vSAN, vSphere, VCF Automation and VCF Operations as one fleet; VVF, by contrast, lacks automation and cloud management.
- VRRP
A protocol giving LAN gateways redundancy; Azure VNets don't use it for routing.
- HSRP
The Hot Standby Router Protocol provides redundant gateways on a LAN; Azure routing does not use it.
