Infrastructure Resiliency Manager is the unified experience within Resiliency in Azure that helps you protect your applications from infrastructure outages with zone resilience. It provides at-scale visibility into resilience gaps across your Azure estate and offers integrated capabilities to define, validate, and achieve your applications' resilience goals.
Note
Infrastructure Resiliency Manager is a global, nonregional service that operates independently of any specific Azure region, enabling it to manage and orchestrate resources across all Azure regions.
Supported capabilities
Infrastructure Resiliency Manager brings together the following capabilities under a single experience:
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| At-scale resilience posture | View a summary of zone resilience posture across all your resources and service groups from a centralized overview. |
| Goals and recommendations | Set zone resilience goals for service groups, review targeted recommendations, and track progress toward meeting those goals. |
| Availability Zone Down Drills | Simulate zone outages to assess the cross-zone resilience of your applications and identify improvement areas. |
| Recovery orchestration plan | Orchestrate recovery across multiple resources within an application during zone outages. |
You can use at-scale posture, goals, and recommendations without a usage plan. To use advanced capabilities, including Availability Zone Down Drills and Recovery Orchestration Plans, enroll the service group in a usage plan. Usage plans no longer have Basic or Standard tiers.
View resilience posture at scale
Use Resiliency in the Azure portal to get comprehensive visibility into resilience gaps across your Azure estate. The at-scale view shows a summary of your zone resilience posture and associated recommendations.
Resiliency in Azure supports both resource-level and service group-level perspectives. If you didn't yet create service groups, use the resource-level views to get a summary.
Manage resilience for your resources
The resource-level view provides a count of resources across your Azure estate, categorized by their zone resilience status:
- Zone-resilient resources: Resources configured with a zone resilience solution.
- Non-zone-resilient resources: Resources for which the system didn't detect the configuration of a zone resilience solution.
From this view, you can drill into individual resources, see their zone resilience status, and access Advisor recommendations for non-resilient resources.
For step-by-step instructions on navigating the resource-level view, see View resilience at scale - Resource-level view.
Tip
If you want a more tailored view for your scenario that ensures non-critical resources aren't flagged and you can manually attest resources that are made zone resilient through a custom setup, create service groups. You can create service groups directly from the Resiliency experience.
Create a service group from resource view
You can create a service group directly from the resource resilience view by selecting resources and grouping them into an application. After the service group is created, assign goals to it for zone resilience evaluation.
For step-by-step instructions, see Create a service group from the at-scale view.
Manage resilience at a service group level
After you create the required service groups and assign goals, you can view the resilience summary across service groups. You can view the following information:
- Zone-resilient service groups: Service groups where all resources (that aren't excluded) are configured with zone resilience or manually attested by the user.
- Non-zone-resilient service groups: Service groups where one or more resources aren't configured for zone resilience.
- Goals not assigned: Service groups where goals aren't assigned yet.
- Not evaluated service groups: Service groups where one or more resources aren't supported by the Resiliency service and couldn't be evaluated.
From this view, you can drill into individual service groups to see detailed resilience information, include or exclude resources, manually attest resources, and review recommendations.
For step-by-step instructions, see View resilience at scale - Service group–level view.
When to use service groups
Create service groups for scenarios where you want to:
- Get an application-centric view of resilience posture. Understand gaps and misses at an application level rather than reviewing individual resources in isolation.
- Model shared resources across applications. Represent scenarios where a single resource is shared across multiple applications by including it in more than one service group.
- Group resources across subscriptions, resource groups, and tags. Define application boundaries that span different subscriptions, resource groups, or tag values within your Azure estate.
- Scope out non-critical resources. Exclude resources that don't require zone resilience from evaluation to reduce noise and focus on what matters.
