State of the Union on Disaster Recovery
summary
Defines RTO and RPO precisely (how long downtime can be tolerated and how much data can be lost) and maps four concrete DR archetypes: backup-restore, volume replication, transaction replication, and truly distributed active‑active. Calls out specific gaps: global load balancer automation is missing, change block tracking exists in the CSI spec but is not widely adopted, and there is no standard volume replication CSI so vendors each expose proprietary extensions, blocking storage‑agnostic DR orchestration and fast RPO/RTO for VMs and large stateful workloads.
