AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS)

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery handles application recovery by replicating on-premises or other cloud workloads into AWS. It manages the continuous data synchronization and orchestration needed to spin up recovered instances in the cloud, effectively turning disaster recovery into a managed service rather than a manual infrastructure build.

This setup suits organizations already committed to the AWS ecosystem that need scalable recovery without maintaining a secondary data center. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier; since it operates on a strict pay-as-you-go model, you pay for replication and recovery resources from day one, which can add up quickly for large estates.
