AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery reduces recovery time for AWS-to-AWS workloads
AWS DRS now skips preparation steps for EC2-based AWS workloads, reducing recovery time by up to 65% for Windows and 40% for Linux
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) now reduces recovery time for AWS-based workloads running on Amazon EC2 by up to 65% for Windows and up to 40% for Linux, by skipping preparation steps no longer needed. During a disaster or drill, every minute counts. Since workloads already running on AWS include AWS-compatible drivers and configurations, DRS can launch them with fewer steps-helping you bring applications back online sooner and with greater confidence. Networking, drivers, and licensing are still applied automatically, so recovery remains simple and hands-off. You retain control: enable faster recovery across your entire account or for individual servers, and change settings whenever your needs change. This capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS DRS is offered, at no additional cost.
