How to Implement Region Failover Config in Python with Primary and Secondary Mock

This Python class simulates regional failover: it tracks active region, switches to secondary on primary failure, and allows manual recovery.

        self.primary = primary
        self.secondary = secondary
        self.active = primary
        self.failover_count = 0
        self.healthy = True
