Managing Contingency Plans

In the routine emergency management of COC, public and custom contingency plans form a complementary contingency plan system that addresses diverse operational emergency scenarios.

Public contingency plans are standard baseline plans preset on the platform, covering typical scenarios of cloud O&M. You can directly check and use contingency plan templates queried on the Public Plans page. If public contingency plans cannot meet your specialized requirements, you can clone a public contingency plan to quickly generate a custom plan, which greatly reduces the cost of creating a new one.

You can modify and delete a custom contingency plan according to your service scenario and fault-handling process.

Prerequisites
