A Runbook is a documented set of step-by-step procedures that operations staff follow to perform routine tasks or respond to specific events, such as a failover, power maintenance, or system restart. By capturing proven, repeatable actions, it reduces human error, speeds response during incidents, and preserves institutional knowledge, and it is increasingly automated in modern operations.
