Create disaster recovery plan and runbook #226

Description

Problem

BACKUP.md covers backup procedures but lacks a formal disaster recovery playbook with RTO/RPO targets.

Missing Elements

  • Recovery Time Objective (RTO) testing
  • Recovery Point Objective (RPO) verification
  • Failover procedures documented but not automated
  • No cross-region/off-site backup strategy
  • Service priority matrix (which to restore first)

Recommendations

Create DISASTER_RECOVERY.md with:

  1. Runbook for complete infrastructure loss

    • Step-by-step recovery procedures
    • Prerequisites and dependencies
  2. Service priority matrix

    • Critical: step-ca, DNS
    • High: Prometheus, Grafana
    • Medium: Loki, application services
  3. RTO/RPO targets

    • Define acceptable downtime per service
    • Define acceptable data loss window
  4. Automated DR testing

    • Quarterly test schedule
    • Test scenarios and success criteria
  5. Off-site backup strategy

    • Current backups reside on same infrastructure
    • Define off-site replication approach

Priority

Critical - essential for production readiness
