Organization

DRHCOPS01: What are the specific data residency regulations and organizational policies that apply to your hybrid edge workloads?

Thoroughly understand your organization's data residency regulations and policies across locations to ensure operational alignment.

DRHCOPS02: How do you decide between using AWS Local Zones and AWS Outposts for data residency workloads?

AWS Outposts can help address data residency requirements by allowing you to control the physical location of your data. AWS Local Zones provide low-latency access to clients from specific geographic locations, which is important when evaluating data residency requirements around latency and access.

DRHCOPS03: How do you plan for business continuity for Hybrid Edge workloads?

Establishing clear RTO and RPO requirements is crucial for designing an effective disaster recovery solution when using AWS Outposts or Local Zones for your workloads.

Implement the right data replication strategy, build redundant network connectivity, automate failover processes, and maintain comprehensive monitoring and documentation to ensure business continuity and alignment with your data residency needs.
