Abstract
A data center, DC includes applications that are controllable by one or more computing entities external to the DC. However, when the DC becomes unavailable to the computing entities, the applications are no longer controllable by the computing entities, which is undesirable. Disclosed techniques include the DC determining, based on an indication that the apps are no longer controllable by the computing entities, that the applications are to operate in a disaster recovery mode. Disclosed techniques include causing an indication that the applications at the DC are to operate in the disaster recovery mode to be communicated to applications that are already executing at the DC when the determination is made and to applications that start to execute at the DC after the determination is made. Disclosed techniques also include a further DC providing a failover for the DC.
