In part 1 (this post) we explore SQL Server native backup/restore capability in RDS, Amazon RDS Automated and Manual Backups, and cross region replication of RDS backups. The following table summarizes DR solutions by Amazon RDS for SQL Server edition: Solution Replicating automated backups to another AWS RegionĬLOUDBASIX for RDS SQL Server Read Replicas and Disaster Recovery (DR) And we will explore these options in this blog series. The following table summarizes DR solutions by Amazon RDS for SQL Server version. Amazon RDS for SQL Server version and edition requirements as per DR technology In this post we investigate in-region and multi-region DR capabilities on Amazon RDS for SQL Server. We refer to this approach as multi-region DR.
Customers who need longer distances than that provided by a Multi-AZ approach can also leverage another AWS region for DR. We refer to this approach as in-region DR throughout this post. Customers can achieve DR within an AWS region with Multi-AZ architectures. They are positioned in separate power grids, on different flood plains, and far apart from each other. AWS global infrastructure simplifies this decision because AWS Availability Zones (AZ) are isolated from every other AZ. Organizations must make location decisions based on the types of possible disasters and costs. In either case, the best practice is to have a DR site on a separate power grid than the primary data center, and far enough away that a major disaster does not impact both the primary and DR site. This is a place that a company can temporarily use following a disaster. Distance is an essential consideration for an organization’s DR site. A nearby DR site allows for synchronous replication of data, while a DR site that is located far away can cause latency issues and may only support asynchronous replication. In a DR plan, there is a DR site, also known as a backup site. Disaster Recovery strategies for Amazon RDS for SQL Server In this series, we cover the DR solutions available for Amazon RDS for SQL Server.

In our last series of posts ( Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4), we discussed disaster recovery (DR) terminology and compared the DR solutions available for SQL Server on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). Amazon RDS also offers high availability using a Multi-AZ solution, replicating data synchronously across different Availability Zones. In Multi-AZ RDS deployments, the service provides increased availability, data durability, and fault tolerance for DB instances. Amazon RDS lets you create database instances, database snapshots, point-in-time restores, and automated or manual backups for data protection and disaster recovery purposes.
The challenge does not stop there as DBAs must implement the selected technology and ensure that best practices are applied.Īmazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is a managed service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database. The initial challenge that database administrators (DBA) encounter when planning disaster recovery (DR) for SQL Server is choosing from the many options available.
