Recovery Runbook Template

This template defines the structure of a recovery runbook for a single in-scope service, application, or platform. Each in-scope service has its own runbook instantiated from this template. The runbook is the authoritative operating document used by the recovery team during a degraded or failed state. It is not a strategy document; it is operational.
