Disaster Recovery Strategies

Part of the Cloud Computing Roadmap.

Summary

Planning for recovery from a major failure — from simple backup-and-restore to fully mirrored multi-region setups — the right strategy depends on how much downtime and data loss the business can tolerate.

How to Learn This

  • 1Learn the difference between RTO (how fast you recover) and RPO (how much data you can afford to lose).
  • 2Compare 3 disaster recovery strategies (backup/restore, pilot light, warm standby, multi-site) by cost and recovery speed.
  • 3Draft a simple disaster recovery plan for a hypothetical critical service.
