1. A method for orchestrating application failover in a multi-site disaster recovery (DR) environment comprising:
enumerating entities associated with the failover from a primary site to a secondary site of the DR environment by application at the primary site, the entities including one or more user virtual machines (UVMs), block storage devices (BSDs) requiring authenticated access, and network interfaces;
connecting, at the secondary site, each UVM to an associated BSD via a network interface by application according to a recovery configuration to enable authenticated UVM access to data of the BSD at the secondary site, wherein generation of the recovery configuration is triggered from a graphical user interface (GUI); and
powering on, at the secondary site, the UVMs and BSDs in a predetermined boot sequence according to the recovery configuration to enable recovery of the application without user intervention, wherein execution of the application failover is initiated via the GUI and completion of the application failover is displayed as progress via the GUI.
