About goals and recommendations in Infrastructure Resiliency Manager (preview)

Infrastructure Resiliency Manager (preview) is a self-serve experience that helps you define, validate, and achieve your applications' resiliency goals in Azure. With this experience, you can:

  • Set resiliency goals for your applications.
  • Receive detailed recommendations that help meet the goals.
  • Review resilience posture across your Azure estate from a single pane of glass.
  • Run simulated outage drills for outage readiness validation.
  • Recover from zonal outages using recovery plans for applications.

Note

Infrastructure Resiliency Manager is a global (nonregional) service. This service isn’t deployed to a specific Azure region and can manage and operate across resources in any Azure region.

  • Review targeted recommendations for resources that don't meet your goals.
  • Act on recommendations by following step-by-step remediation guidance or using the Resiliency agent.
  • View resiliency at scale across all your service groups and resources from a centralized overview.
