# Continuous Delivery high availability and disaster recovery
{: #ha-dr}

DevOps Insights will reach end of service and be discontinued on **August 31, 2026**. Continuous Delivery will be discontinued in the following regions on 12 February 2027: **au-syd**, **ca-tor**, **us-east**. Code Risk Analyzer will also be discontinued in all regions on that date. If a region has no active usage of these features, the features in that region may be discontinued earlier and stop accepting new instances.

IBM Cloud® Continuous Delivery is a general availability (GA) service with a Service Level Agreement of 99.99% availability that is offered in multiple regions: Dallas (`us-south`), Washington DC (`us-east`), Toronto (`ca-tor`), Sao Paulo (`br-sao`), Frankfurt (`eu-de`), London (`eu-gb`), Tokyo (`jp-tok`), and Sydney (`au-syd`). Each location has three different data centers for redundancy. The data for each location is kept in the three data centers near that location. If all of the data centers in a location fail, the Continuous Delivery service for that location becomes unavailable.

Continuous Delivery does not replicate data outside of a region, except for backup data. When possible, backup data is kept within the data centers of a country but data is always kept within a geography. European data does not leave the EU. To learn more about where Continuous Delivery backup data is stored, see [Object Storage Location](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/ContinuousDelivery?topic=ContinuousDelivery-cd-compute-isolation&format=markdown#cd-object-storage).

Continuous Delivery is available only on the public cloud, but the tools that are used with Continuous Delivery can run in public cloud environments and in on-premises environments.

See [ensure zero downtime](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/resiliency?topic=resiliency-ha-redundancy&format=markdown#zero-downtime) to learn more about the high availability and disaster recovery standards in IBM Cloud. For more information about high availability and disaster recovery for Continuous Delivery, see [Your responsibilities with using Continuous Delivery](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/ContinuousDelivery?topic=ContinuousDelivery-responsibilities-cd&format=markdown#disaster-recovery). You can also find information about [Service Level Agreements](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/overview?topic=overview-slas&format=markdown).

In the event that a region becomes unavailable, you can use Continuous Delivery in another region. It is recommended to use an alternate region based on geographic proximity and data sovereignty; however, you can choose any alternate region that suits your requirements.

Where:
- A geography is a geographic area or larger political body that contains one or more regions.
- A region is a defined geographic territory.
- A region might be a specific postal code area, a town, a city, a state, a group of states, or even a group of countries.
- A region contains multiple availability zones to meet local access, low latency, and security requirements for the region.
- MZR means multi-zone region. [Learn more](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/overview?topic=overview-locations&format=markdown#table-mzr).
- SC-MZR means single-campus multi-zone region. [Learn mode](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/overview?topic=overview-locations&format=markdown#single-campus-mzr).
