Provisioning disaster recovery resources across multiple different environments based on class of service

Abstract:

Disaster recovery resource provisioning is provided. Infrastructure resource objects are grouped into a plurality of resource pools based on resource characteristics of each respective infrastructure resource object. A set of resource capabilities is provided for seamless resource provisioning for each resource pool in the plurality of resource pools. A class of service is mapped to a resource pool corresponding to a workload spread across multiple environments considering primary workload production and secondary disaster recovery requirements. Resources are automatically provisioned from the class of service required in providing disaster recovery for the workload based on characteristics of the workload, cost, business needs, and service level agreement metrics corresponding to the disaster recovery.
