# DRHCOPS03-BP03 Build redundant network connectivity
<a name="drhcops03-bp03"></a>

 Create redundant network connections to avoid connectivity loss to the Region and your workloads. 

 **Desired outcome:** Redundant network connectivity improves your availability posture and supports your business continuity needs along with data residency requirements 

 **Benefits of establishing this best practice:** Deploying redundant network connectivity using Outposts and Local Zones helps organizations maintain high availability, minimize latency, and keep data within specified geographic boundaries, addressing performance, resilience, and regulatory needs. 

 **Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established:** High 

## Implementation guidance

+  Establish redundant network connections between Outposts and AWS Regions using AWS Direct Connect or VPN connections. 
+  Implement failover mechanisms to automatically switch over to a secondary network connection in case of a failure, reducing downtime and meeting RTO targets.
