Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS) helps reduce downtime and data loss by replicating applications from on-premises or cloud environments to AWS. The service supports varied infrastructure including physical servers and virtualized platforms, as well as recovery into different AWS regions.
By adding six new regions—including Asia Pacific and Canada locations—AWS enables more geographically diverse disaster recovery deployments. The service provides a unified process for drills, failback, and recovery without requiring specialized skills for different application types.
