Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery is about preparing for any event that has a negative impact on a company's business.
Strategy: Backup & Restore
Create a backup and restore the entire backup by starting up a new infrastructure.
Pilot Light
Create a backup and keep downscaled core services running for a faster startup.
Warm Standby
Create a backup and keep a downscaled version of the entire environment running. In the event of a disaster the environment is scaled up.
Multi Site
The entire environment is deployed into multiple locations. If a disaster occurs a failover to the other location happens. This has the shortest time to recovery but is the most expensive.
How to choose
RTO: Recovery Time Objective
The time it takes to get the systems back up and running to their ideal state.
RPO: Recovery Point Objective
The amount of data loss (in terms of time) for a prod system during the disaster event.
