DR Patterns

  • Backup and restore has the lowest cost and highest recovery time.
  • Pilot light keeps core components ready and scales after failover.
  • Warm standby runs a scaled-down copy that can scale up quickly.
  • Active-active serves traffic in multiple Regions and has the highest complexity and cost.

Design Cues

  • Use Multi-AZ for regional high availability.
  • Use multi-Region designs for disaster recovery or global latency requirements.
  • Use Route 53 health checks and failover routing for DNS-level recovery.
  • Test restores and failovers to prove that RTO can be met.
