Abstract
An approach is provided for managing resiliency of an application. Based on information specifying services provided by service providers (SPs) which is stored in a configuration management database, a topology mapping a first service provided by a first SP to a second service provided by a second SP is generated. Each of the first and second services provides a functionality of the application. A fail condition of the first SP is detected. Based on the topology, a first API provided by the first SP is determined to have provided the first service prior to the fail condition, and a second API provided by the second SP is determined to provide the second service. The first API provided by the first SP is disabled and the second API is activated, thereby continuing to provide the functionality of the application even though the first SP is experiencing the fail condition.
