Abstract
The disclosure herein describes automating runbook operations associated with an application within an application host on an application platform. A runbook definition associated with the application is accessed by a processor, wherein the runbook definition includes trigger events and runbook operations associated with the trigger events. A runbook operator is executed on the application platform based on the accessed runbook definition and a runbook sidecar container is added to the application host by the runbook operator, wherein the runbook operator is enabled to perform the runbook operations within the application host via the runbook sidecar container. Based on detecting a trigger event, a runbook operation associated with the detected trigger event is performed by the runbook operator, via the runbook sidecar container, whereby the application is maintained based on performance of the runbook operations from within the application host.
