Self-service disaster recovery for AWS with Druva
summary
Druva CloudRanger is a SaaS, AWS-native DR platform that claims to automate DR by creating VPC clone environments via generated CloudFormation templates, performing cross-account, cross-region backups of EC2, RDS and Aurora (and now S3), and indexing snapshots for file-level restore without agents. It stores metadata in customers’ accounts (no DR infrastructure), offers scheduled failover tests with PDF/CSV reports for compliance, transitions EBS snapshots to cheaper S3/Glacier tiers, and reports customer metrics (150 PB under management, 4,000+ customers; many automate monthly tests).
