AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery now supports recovery to AWS Local Zones

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) now supports recovery to AWS Local Zones. This feature allows you to set your recovery target to be within an AWS Local Zone.

AWS DRS minimizes 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 this release, customers can launch recovered instances in a geography closer to their end users and data sources, which means lower latency and maintenance of data residency.

This new capability adds support for all AWS Local Zones that are available in AWS Regions where AWS DRS is available. See the AWS Regional Services List for the latest availability information.
