Orchestration (runbooks)

A runbook is a set of instructions describing how to spin up the production environment in the cloud. You can create runbooks in the service console. To access the Runbooks tab, select Disaster recovery > Runbooks.

Why use runbooks?

Runbooks let you:

• Automate a failover of one or multiple servers
• Automatically check the failover result by pinging the server IP address and checking the connection to the port you specify
• Set the sequence of operations for servers running distributed applications
• Include manual operations in the workflow
• Verify the integrity of your disaster recovery solution, by executing runbooks in the test mode
