AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS) offers rapid, reliable restoration of workloads—from physical servers to various virtualization platforms—minimizing downtime and data loss with seconds-scale recovery points and minute-scale recovery times. Its availability within the AWS European Sovereign Cloud addresses stringent data residency and sovereignty concerns for organizations in regulated sectors.

DRS supports a broad set of enterprise applications and databases, using a unified process for testing and failover. By operating within the EU Sovereign Cloud region, it enables customers to align disaster recovery strategies with compliance mandates requiring localized data protection and processing environments.
