FSICOST10: Do you use lower cost Regions to run less data-intensive or time-sensitive workloads?

FSI companies usually have to plan their Disaster Recovery (DR) and also run a cadence of dry runs for regulatory purposes, and typically opt to setup their DR site in an alternate AWS Region. Depending on the SLA for latency, data sovereignty and compliance needs, you could run DR in a less costly Region.

FSICOST10-BP01 Use less costly Regions for disaster recovery and test platforms

FSI companies usually must plan their Disaster Recovery (DR) and also run a cadence of dry runs for regulatory purposes, typically opting to set up their DR site in an alternate AWS Region. Depending on the SLA for latency, data sovereignty, and compliance needs, you could run DR in a less costly Region. Consider cheaper Regions for non-production environments.
