Skipping a step - AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery

Skipping a step

Skip a step to move past it without recovering its servers.

aws drs update-recovery-plan-execution-step \
    --recovery-plan-execution-step-arn EXECUTION_STEP_ARN \
    --status SKIPPED

The following conditions apply to a skip:

  • The step must be NOT_STARTED, FAILED, or TIMED_OUT. You cannot skip a step that is currently EXECUTING or WAITING, and you cannot skip one that already reached COMPLETED.

  • You can skip a NOT_STARTED step while the execution is IN_PROGRESS and an earlier step is still running. The skip is recorded immediately and the plan steps over that step when it reaches it. Skipping ahead does not start any step early; only one server step runs at a time.

  • Skipping a FAILED step in a FAILED execution resumes the execution at the following step.

An execution that finishes with skipped steps reports COMPLETED.
