DRHCOPS03-BP02 Understand factors that determine your data replication strategy

Understand the factors that determine your data replication strategy, and implement replication within the boundaries of your data residency requirements to align with disaster recovery objectives, data integrity, and compliance mandates.

Desired outcome: Your data replication strategy, including its technology, process, and policies, are developed and align to your disaster recovery objectives, data integrity and residency requirements, and compliance mandates.

Benefits of establishing this best practice: Having a clear grasp of data replication strategies allows for effective evaluation, optimization, and alignment with disaster recovery objectives, data integrity and residency requirements, and compliance mandates.

Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High

Implementation guidance

  • Implement data replication between Outposts, Local Zones, and AWS Regions within your cross-border requirements to provide data availability and minimize data loss in case of failures.

  • Evaluate replication technologies like AWS DataSync or third-party solutions based on your workload requirements and RPO targets.

  • Consider multi-site or multi-Region replication for mission-critical workloads to achieve lower RPOs.
