Recently, I implemented an innovative Disaster Recovery (DR) solution to support our Amazon RDS backups using the powerful tools provided by AWS. Here's a brief overview of the project:
πΉ Challenge: Ensure that our RDS database backups are securely and efficiently replicated across different AWS accounts and regions. The solution needed to be robust, automated, and capable of supporting our recovery needs in the event of catastrophic failures.
πΉ Solution: I developed an AWS Lambda function to automate the copying of recovery points from AWS Backup across regions and accounts. This function runs daily, ensuring that all recovery points created on the current day are replicated from the source vault to the destination vault in the region where our DR resources are located.
πΉ Technologies Used:
AWS Backup: To create and manage the recovery points.
Amazon RDS: The primary data source we are protecting.
AWS Lambda: To automate the recovery points copy process.
IAM Roles: To manage permissions and security between accounts and regions.
πΉ Benefits:
Resilience: Ensuring that data is securely stored in multiple regions, ready to be recovered in case of disaster.
Automation: Fully automated backup and recovery processes, reducing manual workload and the risk of human error.
Efficiency: Fast and secure data replication, minimizing recovery time.
This DR solution is a significant step towards protecting our critical data and maintaining business continuity. I am excited to continue exploring and implementing innovative solutions that enhance the resilience and security of our systems!
