Claim 14:
15. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
for an availability zone (AZ), identifying a recovery availability zone (rAZ) based on available computing capacity of the recovery availability zone and geographic proximity of the availability zone relative to the recovery availability zone;
associating the availability zone with the recovery availability zone (rAZ), the availability zone and the recovery availability zone being different data centers;
in an instance in which the availability zone is impacted in which at least one of hardware and software of the availability zone is not fully operational, generating a virtual private cloud (VPC) that establishes a peered connection between the availability zone and the recovery availability zone; and
executing the VPC and a critical service in the recovery availability zone that permits a service executing in the availability zone to invoke the critical service.
