services / Azure / Site Recovery protected item planned failover

Triggers a planned failover of a protected item to its recovery region, gracefully moving the running workload to the recovery site.

A planned failover relocates the live workload to the recovery site; though graceful, an unauthorized invocation disrupts production and moves the workload to the configured recovery network.
