6 steps to survive a cloud outage

Cloud outages may be painful, but they don't last forever. As the cloud provider resolves its outage and normal workload operation is restored, organizations need to perform a postmortem of the event and evaluate their DR responses.

Consider how well the DR plan did, or did not, work and adjust the plan as needed. This may include changing the level of DR protection allocated to an application, fine-tuning the process used to implement a DR procedure or other changes that can potentially mitigate the effect of future cloud outages.
