Incident response playbooks are a set of actions that need to be executed by your incident repsonders depending on the nature of the outage. Having well defined incident response playbooks can be extremely critical, especially during high customer impact events, that you would typically classify as Sev-0 incidents.

We're a young company dedicated to adding value in all corners that we reach, so we hope you find the upcoming series useful!

Yes, everyone is talking about the cloud, but are they actually ‘doing it’? The short answer is yes, and in stunning numbers.
