In conclusion,
it's good to remember that the process of getting to a business
continuity disaster recovery plan in the cloud has a number of steps that
are necessary that involve many different players. Folks from the legal,
folks from IT, folks from the business,
they all need to be brought together to refine the BCDR in a way that
is in accordance with the business process. You have to make sure
that you're dealing with critical assets.
The word critical becomes a euphemism in our world.
It's critical that we go to lunch at 12. That's not critical
unless you haven't eaten in a couple of days.
Understanding the elements that are critical to the survival
of the business. Think about your airway,
your breathing,
your circulation, and in your bodily system, those are critical to living.
We need to arrive at the elements that are critical to the
survival of the business, so, what agreements are in place in
the form of SLAs and contracts that help to set expectations

did it involve going into the recovery location?

the worst possible time may give you the worst case scenario that
would give you a true reflection of what's possible under normal
operating conditions. Well,
thank you for joining me in this course. And, I'm wishing you
the best results on your exam, and I hope to see you around on
the platform in the future, soon.
