Automatically configuring boot sequence of container systems for disaster recovery

A computer-implemented method of providing disaster recovery in a cloud native application environment, comprising:

• collecting, from a production site, container environment data comprising container types, network configuration and traffic, manual restarts of containers, and container management system configuration;
• determining a recommended order for booting or rebooting the containers during a disaster recovery process based on the collected container environment data;
• writing the data of the containers to target containers of a disaster recovery site coupled to the production site over a network;
• invoking a failover or failback data replication operation in event of failure or compromise of the production site;
• and
• booting the target containers of the disaster recovery site in the recommended order.
