The record

Purpose: AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery minimizes downtime and data loss by recovering on-premises and cloud-based applications on AWS.
Recovery: You can launch recovery instances within minutes using the latest server state or a previous point in time.
Failback: After recovery on AWS, you can replicate data back to your primary site and fail back when ready.
Testing: The service supports non-disruptive recovery and failback drills while maintaining ongoing replication.
Recovery sources: AWS DRS can recover applications from physical infrastructure, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and other cloud providers.
AWS destinations: AWS DRS can recover EC2 instances in another Availability Zone or AWS Region.
Ransomware recovery: Point-in-time recovery can launch a copy of applications in an operational state from before a security incident.
Encryption: Replicated data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2, and can be encrypted at rest using Amazon EBS encryption.
Private connectivity: Replication can use private connectivity options including VPN, AWS Direct Connect, and VPC peering.
Automated actions: Post-launch actions can run AWS Systems Manager commands or automations, with predefined options such as installing a CloudWatch agent.
Network recovery: AWS DRS can replicate network settings including subnet CIDRs, security groups, route tables, internet gateways, and network ACLs.
Scale limit: AWS DRS supports up to 300 servers replicating into one staging account and up to 3,000 servers in one target account using multiple staging accounts.
Support: AWS recommends Business or Enterprise Support for production workloads using AWS DRS.
