What you'll learn

Many organizations maintain disaster recovery plans but lack confidence that those plans will perform successfully during a real outage. In this course, Testing Cloud Recovery Readiness, you'll gain the ability to validate cloud recovery capabilities using structured testing and evidence-based assessment techniques. First, you'll explore how to design recovery validation exercises, including failover tests, restore tests, dependency-loss scenarios, and game day activities aligned with business recovery objectives. Next, you'll discover how to evaluate recovery evidence by analyzing metrics, logs, health checks, and operational outcomes against recovery expectations such as RTO and RPO targets. Finally, you'll learn how to translate recovery findings into actionable readiness guidance, prioritize resilience improvements, and establish ongoing validation practices. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of cloud recovery readiness testing needed to assess recovery capabilities, identify recovery gaps, and improve organizational resilience before a real disruption occurs.
