Hi,
Please can you confirm if FMC H.A is supported on Azure. I am running version 7.2
On one document is not mentioning Azure, and on the other it is mentioning Azure:
According to the 7.2 FMC Admin guide, H.A is only supported on Vmware, AWS and OCI, but not mentioned for Azure.

On the FMC Getting Starting guide it is mentioned it is supported on Azure

I was told by a Cisco product manager that the feature did not make the cutoff date for 7.2 in the Azure environment.
Some of the Cisco docs have not been updated to reflect this fact.

Maybe they can confirm if for 7.3.1 H.A for FMC is supported on Azure?

Thanks.
Running 7.4.2-172 and have HA configured and fully sync'd therefore fails over when I manually switch the peers.
In Azure if I stop/shutdown the VM/Primary FMC it doesn't fail over to Secondary FMC making this Active.
Instead the secondary FMC advises Primary FMC is down.
Any ideas?

I have usually found FMC HA to be more trouble than it's worth. I believe having good off-device backups is a more useful and operationally sustainable approach.
In any case, when communications are re-established, the HA sync should pick back up.
If it doesn't, you can manually break and then re-established HA as needed following the steps in the admin guide:
