A single-click automation tool for azure site recovery: Enhancing disaster response efficiency

Hanuma, Suresh Kotha Naga Venkata (2025) A single-click automation tool for azure site recovery: Enhancing disaster response efficiency. World Journal of Advanced Engineering Technology and Sciences, 15 (2). pp. 2713-2721. ISSN 2582-8266

A single-click automation tool for Azure Site Recovery (ASR) transforms disaster recovery operations from complex technical processes into streamlined business functions with predictable outcomes. This PowerShell-based solution addresses critical challenges in cross-region resource migration by implementing a multi-layered architecture that manages the entire migration lifecycle with minimal manual intervention. The automation framework encompasses resource discovery, dependency mapping, configuration transformation, and deployment orchestration, significantly reducing recovery times compared to traditional manual approaches. Performance analysis demonstrates consistent improvements across diverse application architectures, from simple web applications to complex microservices implementations. While the current implementation successfully addresses many historical barriers to effective disaster recovery, opportunities remain for enhancing application-specific validation, dynamic recovery sequencing, and cross-cloud capabilities. The tool's modular design enables organizations to achieve substantially improved resilience postures without corresponding increases in operational complexity or specialized technical requirements.
