+High-availability Namespaces are in [Public Preview](/evaluate/development-production-features/release-stages#public-preview) for Temporal Cloud.
+
+:::
+
+Temporal Cloud's high-availability Namespaces provide disaster-tolerant deployment for workloads where availability is critical to your operations.
+When you enable high availability, Temporal Cloud automatically synchronizes your data between a primary and a fallback Namespace, keeping them in sync.
+Should an incident occur, Temporal will [failover](/glossary#failover) your Namespace.
+This allows your Workflow Executions and Schedules to seamlessly shift from the active availability zone to the fallback availability zone.
+
+An availability zone is a physically isolated data center within a deployment region for a given cloud provider.
+Regions consist of multiple availability zones, providing redundancy and fault tolerance.
+In some cases, the fallback zone may be in the same region as the primary zone, or it may be in a different region altogether, depending on your deployment configuration.
+
+High-availability simplifies deployment, ensuring operational continuity and data integrity even during unexpected events.
+Regional disruptions or other issues that affect the data centers within a specific availability zone may occur.
+High-availability allows processing to shift from the affected zone to an already-synchronized fallback zone.
+
+This synchronized zone is called a "replica."
+The process of duplicating all Workflow data ensures that your replica, which serves as the standby region, is always available and ready to take on the active role.
+
+In the event of network service or performance issues in the active zone, your replica is ready to take over.
+When necessary, Temporal Cloud smoothly transitions control from the active to the standby zone using a process called "[failover](/glossary#failover)".
+
+Temporal Cloud's multi-region Namespace feature includes a 99.99% contractual Service Level Agreement ([SLA](https://docs.temporal.io/cloud/sla)).
+It provides 99.99% availability and 99.99% guarantee against service errors.
+
+For many customers, reliability is critical to maintaining business continuity and minimizing disruptions.

+
+## Why choose high-availability? {#high-availability-intro}
+
+For many organizations, ensuring high-availability is critical to maintaining business continuity.
+A high-availability Namespace (HAN) creates a single logical Namespace that operates across two physical zones: one active and one standby.
+HANs streamline access for both zones to a unified Namespace endpoint.
+As Workflows progress in the active zone, history events are asynchronously replicated to the standby zone, ensuring continuity and data integrity.
+
+In the event of an incident or outage in the active zone, Temporal Cloud will seamlessly failover to your standby zone.
+Failovers allow existing Workflow Executions to continue running and new Workflow Executions to be started.
+Once failover occurs, the roles of the active and standby zones switch.
+The standby zone becomes active, and the previous active zone becomes the standby.
+After the issue is resolved, the zone "fails back" from the replica to the original.
+
+In traditional active/active replication, multiple nodes serve requests and accept writes simultaneously, ensuring strong synchronous data consistency.
+In contrast, with a Temporal Cloud high-availability Namespace, only the active zone accepts requests and writes at any given time.
+Workflow history events are written to the active zone first and then asynchronously replicated to the standby zone replica, ensuring that the replica remains in sync.

+## Choosing high-availability
+
+Should you be using high-availability Namespaces? It depends on your availability requirements:
+
+- High-availability Namespaces offer a 99.99% contractual SLA for workloads with strict high-availability needs.
+  HANs use two Namespaces in two deployment zones to support standby recovery.
+  In the event of a zone failure, Temporal Cloud automatically fails over the HAN Namespace to the standby replica.
+- Single-zone Namespaces include a 99.9% contractual Service Level Agreement ([SLA](/cloud/sla)).
+  In single-zone use, Temporal clients connect to a single Namespace in one deployment zone.
+  For many applications, this offers sufficient availability.
+
+Temporal Cloud provides 99.99% service availability for all Namespaces, both single-region and high-availability.
+
+**Advantages of using a multi-region Namespace:**
+
+- No manual deployment or configuration required—just simple push-button operation.
+- Open Workflows continue in the standby zone with minimal interruption and data loss.
+- No changes needed for Worker or Workflow code during setup or failover.
+- 99.99% contractual SLA.

+
+## How to Upgrade
+
+**Upgrading to high-availability:**
+
+Enable the multi-region Namespace feature for your existing single-region Namespace by [adding a second region](/cloud/multi-region#add-regions) to your Namespace.
+After adding the second region, Temporal Cloud begins data replication for your new standby region.
+Temporal Cloud notifies you by email once the replication has caught up and both regions are in sync.
