What are Cutover Runbooks?

Cutover Runbooks are dynamic, automated, and executable plans that orchestrate the sequence of tasks and communications across both human and machine activities in real-time. They provide step-by-step tasks to streamline IT operations, reduce human error, and ensure consistency across critical processes like IT disaster recovery (DR), incident management, cloud migration, and many other use cases. Unlike static documents, Cutover Runbooks are living, editable task-le plans that can be adapted on the fly.

How do Cutover Runbooks support IT Disaster Recovery (DR)?

Cutover Runbooks are central to a modern IT DR strategy. They codify and automate IT disaster recovery plans, reducing complexity and execution time. Recovery plans are stored as templates in Cutover, which can be linked to a configuration management database (CMDB). This allows for the rapid mobilization of recovery plans spanning hundreds or thousands of applications. In the event of a disaster, these runbooks orchestrate the entire recovery process, from core infrastructure and control planes to individual applications, based on their criticality.
