What post-launch scripts does AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery support?

DRS can run scripts on a launched drill or recovery instance. This is done by creating the following folder on the source server and placing the scripts within that folder.

Linux: /boot/post_launch (any files that are marked as executable)

Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\AWS Replication Agent\post_launch\ (any .exe, .cmd, or .bat files)

Once you put these scripts in the above folders on the source server, the folder will be replicated to the drill or recovery instance and be executed once after the instance boots for the first time.

Note

Post-launch scripts on Windows run under the Local System context. Post-launch scripts on Linux run under the 'root' user.
