Failure management - Data Residency and Hybrid Cloud Lens

Failure management

DRHCREL05: How do you manage and recover from failure to maintain reliable data access and processing across on-premises, edge, and cloud environments?

Running workloads are subject to disruptions for a number of reasons. Therefore, you must take steps to implement resiliency if you need your workload to be reliable while also meeting your data residency requirements.

DRHCREL06: Is your application resilient to on-premises maintenance activities?

Under the shared responsibility model, AWS is responsible for the hardware and software that run AWS services. This applies to AWS Outposts, just as it does to an AWS Region. AWS monitors the performance, health, and metrics for your Outposts rack and determines whether any maintenance is required. If AWS detects an irreparable issue with hardware during the server provisioning process or while hosting Amazon EC2 instances running on your Outposts server, we will notify the Outpost owner and the owner of the instances that the affected instances are scheduled for retirement. For high availability, your workloads must be resilient during maintenance activities while also preserving data residency requirements.
