Virtual platform resilience review

A review of workload placement, dependencies and how the virtual platform would behave when a host or site failed.

Challenge

Clusters had been expanded to absorb growth. Recovery objectives existed on paper; they had not been tested against actual placement and storage behaviour.

Solution

Placement, replication and failure domains were reviewed against the stated recovery objectives. Gaps were written as a sequenced remediation list, not a new product shortlist.

Outcome

Leadership had a plain account of residual risk, and engineering had a prioritised list that fitted the next maintenance calendar.
