Traffic manager runbook

how-to Steps to accomplish one task

On this page

• Automation account
• Input parameters
• Process

The traffic manager runbook will swap the endpoints or the traffic manager following a disaster event. The runbook will switch from the active region to the passive region (and back again).

This runbook is a PowerShell script, which CluedIn will provide as needed. This runbook should be run manually following a disaster event.

Prerequisites

• An active CluedIn cluster with a valid license (and/or a passive CluedIn cluster)
• The runbook script
• An automation account
• A storage account
• Sufficient permissions

Automation account

An automation account must be provided. The runbook will be installed into the automation account. Typically, the runbook should only be run following a disaster event and after discussions with relevant stakeholders.

Input parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
Subscription	required	ID of the Azure subscription where the traffic manager is located
ResourceGroupName	required	Name of resource group where the traffic manager is located
FailToDRDR	true	Move to the DR endpoints; when false move back to original endpoints

Process

Scaling down of the DR environment following a successful restore is optional.
