Reconfiguring communication for entities running on a multiple availability zone cloud platform

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable memories coupled to the one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a selection of a flag from a set of flags defined at a cloud platform including multiple availability zones, wherein the flag is selected to identify an outage at a first zone of the cloud platform;
• determining an instance of an entity running at the first zone of the cloud platform;
• determining a state mode of running instances of the entity at the cloud platform;
• in response to determining the state mode, determining rules for executing a recovery procedure for the instance of the entity running at the first zone;
• and
• in response to the determined rules, executing the recovery procedure determined based on to the state mode of running instances of the entity to reconfigure subsequent communication directed to the entity to another one or more instances running at one or more other zones of the cloud platform.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a selection of a flag from a set of flags defined at a cloud platform including multiple availability zones, wherein the flag is selected to identify an outage at a first zone of the cloud platform;
• determining an instance of an entity running at the first zone of the cloud platform;
• determining a state mode of running instances of the entity at the cloud platform;
• in response to determining the state mode, determining rules for executing a recovery procedure for the instance of the entity running at the first zone;
• and
• in response to the determined rules, executing the recovery procedure determined based on to the state mode of running instances of the entity to reconfigure subsequent communication directed to the entity to another one or more instances running at one or more other zones of the cloud platform.
