Systems and methods for performing a technical recovery in a cloud environment

A system for testing failover comprising:

• at least one memory storing instructions and a risk scoring model this includes a respective weight for each of a plurality of risk factors;
• and
• at least one processor operatively connected to the at least one memory, and configured to execute the instructions to perform operations, including:
• determining risk factor data for an application operating in a first region of a cloud environment, the risk factor data including one or more cross-regional dependencies of the application to one or more applications in at least one other region of the cloud environment;
• determining a risk score associated with performing failover of the application to a second region of the cloud environment by evaluating the risk factor data with the risk scoring model;
• comparing the determined risk score with a predetermined risk score;
• in response to determining that the determined risk score is lower than the predetermined risk score, performing failover of the application to the second region of the cloud environment;
• isolating the second region of the cloud environment from the first region of the cloud environment for a predetermined period of time;
• and
• monitoring operation of the application in the second region of the cloud environment during the predetermined period of time.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for testing failover, the instructions being executable by at least one processor to perform operations that include:

• determining risk factor data for an application operating in a first region of a cloud environment, the risk factor data including one or more cross-regional dependencies of the application to one or more applications in at least one other region of the cloud environment;
• determining a risk score associated with performing failover of the application to a second region of the cloud environment by evaluating the risk factor data with a risk scoring model that includes a respective weight for each risk factor included in the risk factor data;
• comparing the determined risk score with a predetermined risk score;
• in response to determining that the determined risk score is lower than the predetermined risk score, performing failover of the application to the second region of the cloud environment;
• isolating the second region of the cloud environment from the first region of the cloud environment for a predetermined period of time;
• and
• monitoring operation of the application in the second region of the cloud environment during the predetermined period of time.
