REL 9. How are you planning for recovery?

 

Data recovery is critical should restoration of data be required from backup methods. Your definition of and execution on the objectives, resources, locations, and functions of this data must align with RTO and RPO objectives.
Best practices:
 Objectives Defined Define RTO and RPO.
 Disaster Recovery Establish a DR strategy.
 Configuration Drift Ensure that Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) and the system configuration state are up-to-date at the DR site/region.
 Service Limits Request an increase of service limits with the DR site to accommodate a failover.
 DR Tested and Validated Regularly test failover to DR to ensure RTO and RPO are met.
 Automated Recovery Implemented Use AWS and/or third-party tools to automate system recovery.
