The team are strong proponents of the DevOps culture and continuous delivery philosophy, a key tenant of which is to automate everything. This extends to operational procedures like disaster recovery.

In this lightning talk, Philip Mortiboy, senior engineering lead at Altrata, will take you through how his team utilised the Aura APIs to build one-click recovery processes for key disaster recovery scenarios.
