Streamlining access to powerful disaster recovery capabilities of AWS

This article explains how to implement comprehensive disaster recovery (DR) for AWS workloads using a building-blocks approach combining native AWS services and partner solutions.

• AWS Backup centralizes data protection across multiple services with cross-Region and cross-account capabilities
• AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS) provides near-zero RPO and 5-20 minute RTO for EC2 instances
• Modern workloads require protecting EC2 Auto Scaling, Lambda, ECS, and EKS with proper configuration restoration
• Arpio partner solution automates discovery and recovery of entire workloads across regions and accounts
• Configuration translation ensures applications access restored databases with updated endpoints
• Arpio backs up 140+ AWS resources and uses least-privilege IAM roles for security

Organizations can streamline DR implementation by combining AWS native tools with Resilience Competency Partner solutions to achieve comprehensive workload recovery.
