Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to recovering from a disaster associated with an information technology environment. An information technology environment is replicated to a service provider. A recovery plan is generated for the environment. The recovery plan includes two processes. In response to the service provider receiving a disaster recovery request associated with the environment, the service provider executes a disaster recovery protocol. The protocol includes simultaneously executes the first and second processes. The first process operates a workload in the form of one or more containers, and the second process is a background process that creates a replica of the environment. After completion of the replica creation, the workload is migrated to the replica.
