Feel confuse about procedures to relocate an application to different geographies to follow demand

[SilentCC]

In Scenario 3 Relocate an application to different geographies to follow demand, I feel a little confuse about below part.

• Switch primary server in the failover group to East Asia using friendly failover (1).
• Remove the failover group between US West and East Asia.
• Create a new failover group with the same name but between East Asia and Europe (2).

If we remove the failover group, the RW listener endpoint will be unregistered from DNS. Won't this cause downtime for RW workload before we create a new failover group with same name?

Hi @SilentCC , thanks for contacting Microsoft! You're right, this scenario needs to be rewritten. We've removed it from the documentation for the time being while we refresh it. This change should be live later this week. I'll go ahead and close out this Git Issue but please feel free to comment should you need anything further.

Thanks again for reaching out and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! Masha from the SQL Docs team #please-close #reassign:MashaMSFT
