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
