SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cross-region compute migrations and disaster-recovery orchestration for EC2, ECS, and EKS, enabling timely recovery with minimal downtime.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-region compute migrations for EC2, ECS, and EKS, including image replication, snapshot transfer, and workload redeployment.
  • AZ and region failure recovery workflows covering AMI/snapshot migrations, coldsnap EBS Direct API transfers, and MGN-based migrations.
  • Kubernetes workloads and container image migration support, plus recovery of WSFC/SQL FCI clusters and FSx ONTAP iSCSI environments.

Quick Start

Initiate a cross-region migration by validating source resources, transferring images or snapshots to the target region, and re-deploying workloads to restore services.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate cross-region compute migration for EC2, ECS, and EKS?▼

Cross-region compute migration for EC2, ECS, and EKS is orchestrated by validating source resources, transferring images or snapshots to the target region, and re-deploying workloads to restore services with minimal downtime.

What is the best way to recover compute workloads during an AWS regional outage?▼

Recovering compute workloads during an AWS regional outage involves executing failure recovery workflows that coordinate AMI and snapshot migrations, coldsnap EBS Direct API transfers, and AWS MGN agent-based migrations to the target region.

Can I migrate Kubernetes workloads and container images across AWS regions?▼

Yes, you can migrate Kubernetes workloads and container images across AWS regions by replicating container images and re-deploying EKS workloads in the target region to ensure consistent recovery.

Does this migration approach support WSFC and SQL FCI cluster recovery?▼

Yes, the migration approach supports WSFC and SQL FCI cluster recovery, along with FSx ONTAP iSCSI environments, ensuring coordinated data transfer and resource recreation during cross-region disaster recovery.

What steps are needed to start an EBS snapshot migration to another region?▼

To start an EBS snapshot migration, you initiate the process by validating source resources, using coldsnap EBS Direct API transfers to move data to the target region, and recreating compute resources to restore workloads.
