AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is now available in six additional AWS Regions

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) is now available in six additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Bangkok), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (New Zealand), Asia Pacific (Taipei), Canada West (Calgary), and Mexico (Central). Elastic Disaster Recovery is the recommended service for disaster recovery to AWS. It helps minimize downtime and data loss with fast, reliable recovery of on-premises and cloud-based applications using affordable storage, minimal compute, and point-in-time recovery. With Elastic Disaster Recovery, you can recover your applications on AWS from physical infrastructure, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and cloud infrastructure. You can also use Elastic Disaster Recovery to recover Amazon EC2 instances in a different AWS Region. AWS DRS replicates and recovers a wide range of applications, including critical databases such as Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server, and enterprise applications such as SAP. AWS DRS uses a unified process for drills, recovery, and failback, so you do not need application-specific skillsets to operate the service. With this launch, Elastic Disaster Recovery is now available in 36 AWS Regions. See the AWS Regional Services List for the most up-to-date availability information.
