AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery: Introduction

Amazon Web Services Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS EDR) is a service that allows you to create and manage disaster recovery (DR) solutions for your AWS workloads. It enables you to replicate and recover your Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, and Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instances to a different AWS region. This allows you to quickly failover to the DR region in the event of an interruption or disaster in your primary region.

AWS EDR also provides a centralized management console and APIs for automating DR tasks, such as replication and fail-over. Additionally, it allows you to test your DR configurations and perform planned fail-overs in a non-disruptive manner, which helps you ensure that your DR solution is working as expected.

AWS EDR can be used in conjunction with other AWS services, such as Amazon CloudWatch and AWS CloudFormation, to monitor and automate your DR processes.
