Disaster recovery with AWS managed services, Part 2: Multi-Region/backup and restore

AWS Disaster Recovery

In part two, we introduce a multi-Region backup and restore approach. Using a backup and restore strategy will safeguard applications and data against large-scale events as a cost-effective solution, but will result in longer downtimes and greater loss of data in the event of a disaster as compared to other strategies as shown in Figure 1.

Disaster Recovery (DR) Architecture on AWS, Part I: Strategies for Recovery in the Cloud

AWS Disaster Recovery

Active/passive and active/active DR strategies. Active/passive DR. Figure 2 categorizes DR strategies as either active/passive or active/active. In Figure 3, we show how active/passive works. All requests are now switched to be routed there in a process called “failover.”

SSD vs. HDD Speeds: What’s the Difference?

Pure Storage

HDD devices are slower, but they have a large storage capacity. Even with the higher speed capacity, an SSD has its disadvantages over an HDD, depending on your application. SSDs aren’t typically used for long-term backups, so they’re built for both but are typically used in speed-driven applications.

Implementing Multi-Region Disaster Recovery Using Event-Driven Architecture

AWS Disaster Recovery

In this blog post, we share a reference architecture that uses a multi-Region active/passive strategy to implement a hot standby strategy for disaster recovery (DR). With the multi-Region active/passive strategy, your workloads operate in primary and secondary Regions with full capacity. This keeps RTO and RPO low.

Disaster Recovery (DR) Architecture on AWS, Part III: Pilot Light and Warm Standby

AWS Disaster Recovery

In this blog post, you will learn about two more active/passive strategies that enable your workload to recover from disaster events such as natural disasters, technical failures, or human actions. Then we explored the backup and restore strategy. Backups are necessary to enable you to get back to the last known good state.

Breakthrough Award: Nissan Australia, Our G.O.A.T. Winner for APJ

Pure Storage

To counteract this challenge, Nissan Australia runs its manufacturing workloads on VMware in an active-active configuration across two data centers that leverage Pure Storage® FlashArray//X ™ with ActiveCluster ™ for seamless failovers. FlashBlade has also allowed Nissan Australia to consolidate its mainframe backups.

How to Accelerate MySQL Workloads

Pure Storage

And it has the protective benefits of specialized cluster servers and regular backups to separate nodes or data centers. A basic approach is to use simple backups. Volume snapshots are always thin-provisioned, deduplicated, compressed, and require no snapshot capacity reservations. Single-command failover.
