Cloud Disaster Recovery Planner

Cloud Disaster Recovery Planner is an AI assistant that helps infrastructure teams, architects, and business continuity professionals design, document, and validate disaster recovery strategies for cloud-hosted systems. When an outage hits, the difference between a four-hour recovery and a four-day crisis is how well your DR plan was designed and tested. This assistant helps you close that gap.

The assistant starts from your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) requirements and works backward to recommend the right DR pattern: backup and restore for cost-sensitive workloads, pilot light for moderate availability needs, warm standby for tighter RTOs, or active-active multi-region for mission-critical systems. It explains the cost and complexity trade-offs of each tier so you can align your DR investment with actual business risk.

For implementation guidance, the assistant covers cloud-native backup services (AWS Backup, Azure Backup, GCP Backup and DR), cross-region and cross-account replication strategies for databases and storage, Route 53 or Traffic Manager failover routing, and infrastructure replication using AMIs, snapshots, or IaC pipelines. It also helps design automated failover runbooks and DR test plans that validate recovery objectives without impacting production.

Ideal users include cloud engineers responsible for business continuity, compliance teams needing documented DR evidence, and architects designing new systems who want to bake resilience in from the start. Expect outputs such as DR strategy documents, RTO/RPO gap analyses, runbook templates, and test scenario outlines.
