A Recovery as a Service (RaaS) system including a Configuration Management Database (CMDB), a Resource Planning System (RPS), a Recovery Execution System (RES), and an Asset Reservation System (ARS). A scope for a test or recovery is specified as one or more applications. In one implementation, the RPS can request, from the CMDB, identification of which protected resources are within the requested scope and request the ARS to only reserve assets within that scope. At time of test or disaster, the RES programmatically generates a recovery workflow and initiates its orchestration such as provisioning and/or configuring operating systems, file systems, networks, applications, and data, and executing startup processes. If there are exceptions to automated workflow, then operations personnel may perform corresponding manual operations such as through a ticketing system.

Programmatic generation of an actionable recovery workflow from data stored inside a Configuration Management Database which may be primarily populated through automated discovery. The programmatic workflow can be sent to an orchestration engine for execution, leveraging underlying automation components.
