AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery now preserves UEFI boot mode for Linux servers
News
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery now preserves UEFI boot mode when recovering Linux source servers, ensuring recovered instances match the source environment.
- Recovered Linux instances automatically launch in UEFI boot mode instead of legacy BIOS mode
- Eliminates extra configuration steps required after recovery
- Applications depending on UEFI boot behavior recover exactly as expected
- Boot mode preservation is automatic with no configuration needed
- Available in all AWS Regions where DRS is offered at no additional cost
This enhancement improves disaster recovery consistency for Linux servers by maintaining boot mode parity between source and recovered instances.
