AWS DRS launch settings - AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery

AWS DRS launch settings

The launch settings are a set of instructions that comprise an EC2 launch template and other settings, which determine how a recovery instance will be launched for each source server on AWS.

DRS launch settings and EC2 launch template configurations for server recovery.

Launch settings, including the EC2 launch template, are automatically created every time you add a server to AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery.

The launch settings can be modified at any time, including before the source servers have even completed initial sync.

Learn more about individual launch settings.

Important

If the source server’s instance type includes instance store, please consider the following:

  • It is not recommended to change the instance type of an instance to a type that has no ephemeral volumes, or has a different number of ephemeral volumes, as such changes could lead to data inconsistencies and may even cause recovery, drill, or failback to fail.
