Multi-Region Disaster Recovery with Amazon EKS and Amazon EFS for Stateful workloads
Containers Blog
This article discusses how to achieve multi-region disaster recovery for stateful workloads running on Amazon EKS clusters using Amazon EFS replication. It covers the challenges and presents a solution that leverages the subPathPattern parameter of the Amazon EFS CSI Driver to abstract the file system access points and enable the use of the same workload manifests across both primary and disaster recovery regions.
Specifically, the article covers:
- Introduction to Amazon EFS and its integration with Amazon EKS using the EFS CSI Driver
- Challenges with using Amazon EFS replication for stateful workloads on Kubernetes clusters
- Solution overview demonstrating how to configure Amazon EFS replication and the EFS CSI Driver to enable multi-region disaster recovery
- Failover and failback processes for the solution
- Code sample and considerations for implementing the solution
- Conclusion highlighting the benefits of the proposed approach
