Explanation

The az sql failover-group command manages SQL Failover Groups. Parameters include: Interval in hours before automatic failover is initiated if an outage occurs on the primary server. This indicates that Azure SQL Database will not initiate automatic failover before the grace period expires. Please note that failover operation with --allow-data-loss option might cause data loss due to the nature of asynchronous synchronization. --allow-data-loss Complete the failover even if doing so may result in data loss. This will allow the failover to proceed even if a primary database is unavailable. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/sql/failover-group?view=azure-cli-latest#az-sql- failover-group-update
