AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Workshop

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) helps minimize downtime and data loss with the ability to quickly and reliably recover applications on-premises and in the cloud using available storage. Reasonable cost, minimal computing resources, and point-in-time recovery.

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Workshop

This lab simulates an on-premises environment that allows customers to replicate disaster recovery to AWS.

The simulation environment is supported by Amazon EC2 instances and configured in a way suitable for many customer environments. The network includes private and public subnets, a DNS service, pre-installed applications, and a Windows host bastion server.

The image below is a basic network diagram for the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery service (DRS). The simulation environment matches the service requirements.
