Failover groups is a feature that automatically manages the failovers. It automatically manages the geo-replication relationship between the databases, the failover at scale, and the connectivity. To use failover groups, the primary and the secondary databases need to be created inside of the same Azure subscription.
Automatic failover supports replication of all of the databases that are created in the same failover group to only one secondary database server, in a different region. This is different when using active geo-replication, which can replicate up to four secondary databases.
You can set and manage geo-replication from the Azure Portal, PowerShell, Transact SQL, and the REST API.
