  • Publication number: 20260104952
    Abstract: A method for testing failover includes: determining one or more cross-regional dependencies and traffic flow of an application in a first cloud environment region, wherein the one or more cross-regional dependencies include a dependency of the application in the first region to one or more applications in at least one other cloud environment region; determining a risk score associated with performing failover of the application to a second cloud environment region based on the determined one or more cross-regional dependencies and traffic flow; 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; isolating the second region from the first region for a predetermined period of time; and monitoring operation of the application in the second region during the predetermined period of time.

  • Patent number: 11960347
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for testing failover may include: determining one or more cross-regional dependencies and traffic flow of an application in a first region of a cloud environment, wherein the one or more cross-regional dependencies include a dependency of the application in the first region of the cloud environment 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 at least based on the determined one or more cross-regional dependencies and traffic flow of the application; 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
