In this lab you will leverage various VMware technologies to implement disaster recovery protection for a vCloud Director managed infrastructure. You will implement an automated DR plan and then initiate a live failover of private cloud infrastructure to a recovery site. Upon completion of the failover, you will verify the recovery of both the vApp workloads and cloud management services. The use of automated dependency mapping will be reviewed to ensure all application components are protected.
