DRHCOPS03-BP03 Build redundant network connectivity

Create redundant network connections to avoid connectivity loss to the Region and your workloads.

Desired outcome: Redundant network connectivity improves your availability posture and supports your business continuity needs along with data residency requirements

Benefits of establishing this best practice: Deploying redundant network connectivity using Outposts and Local Zones helps organizations maintain high availability, minimize latency, and keep data within specified geographic boundaries, addressing performance, resilience, and regulatory needs.

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

Implementation guidance

  • Establish redundant network connections between Outposts and AWS Regions using AWS Direct Connect or VPN connections.

  • Implement failover mechanisms to automatically switch over to a secondary network connection in case of a failure, reducing downtime and meeting RTO targets.
