Abstract:
An approach is provided for managing resiliency of an application provided by a first service provider (SP). A fail condition indicating an outage of a first service of the first SP is detected. Based on a topology mapping the first SP to a second SP and the first service to a second service of the second SP, a first API provided by the first SP is determined to have provided the first service prior to the fail condition, and a second API provided by the second SP is determined to provide the second service. The first API is disabled and the second API is activated, thereby continuing to provide a functionality of the application that had been provided by the first service prior to the fail condition being detected, even though the first SP is experiencing the fail condition.
