A recovery orchestration pipeline has stages configured to control efficient failover and recovery of applications in a multi-site disaster recovery (DR) environment. The applications run on user virtual machines (UVMs) at a primary site of the DR environment and connect to block storage devices (BSDs) that export virtual disks over a storage protocol to consume data including a recovery plan for disaster recovery. The recovery plan includes a recovery configuration whose generation is triggered by a user via a graphical user interface (GUI) and specifies resource requirements needed to recover the applications at a secondary site in the event of a disaster. The orchestration pipeline is initiated via single click of the GUI and completion of the stages of the pipeline is displayed as progress via the GUI to allow recovery of the applications without user intervention.

A system and method include reconfiguring original configuration parameters of virtual objects when restoring the virtual objects on a different node. Snapshots of virtual objects running on a first node can be stored on a second node. Upon failure of the first node, the virtual objects can be restored on the second node based on the snapshots. The snapshots can include configuration information of the virtual objects specifying the resource need of the virtual objects. The second node can determine whether the available resources meet the resource needs of the virtual objects being restored. If the resource needs of the virtual objects exceed the available resources, the second node can reconfigure the original configuration parameters of the virtual objects to ensure the virtual objects can be restored and run on the second node.

A system and method for protecting entities of an availability zone include creating, by a policy engine associated with a virtual computing system, a protection policy definition for replicating a first set of entities of a first availability zone of the virtual computing system to a second availability zone of the virtual computing system.
