Resiliency and data residency
summary
AWS opens a second Canadian region in Alberta (three Availability Zones at launch, early 2024), enabling multi-region DR with lower west-coast latency and stronger data residency. Real options map to RPO/RTO: backup‑restore (hours), pilot‑light (tens of minutes), warm standby (minutes) and active‑active (near zero). Practical tooling includes EBS snapshots to S3, RDS replicas, DynamoDB Global Tables, Route 53 failover, Transit Gateway peering, Fault Injection Simulator, Resilience Hub and AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery. Case results: Calvert Health 97% recovery time reduction; Thomson Reuters replicates ~300 servers and 120 TB.
