Automation and recovery management - Microsoft Workloads Lens - AWS Well-Architected Framework

Automation and recovery management

Implementing automated solutions for recovery, scaling, and maintenance reduces human error and improves response times. This encompasses automated disaster recovery, systematic backup procedures, self-healing mechanisms, and dynamic capacity management through auto scaling, maintaining consistent and reliable operation of Microsoft workloads on AWS.

MSFTREL04: How do you address capacity management and auto scaling?

Capacity management and auto scaling for Microsoft workloads on AWS optimize performance and costs by automatically adjusting resources based on demand, while considering Microsoft-specific requirements and AWS capabilities.

MSFTREL05: How do you implement recovery automation for your Microsoft workload?

Recovery automation for Microsoft workloads on AWS combines AWS capabilities with Microsoft-specific tools to maintain business continuity. This practice focuses on automated approaches to protect and recover Microsoft-based applications and infrastructure on AWS, minimizing downtime and human intervention while maintaining consistent recovery procedures for Windows Server, SQL Server, and .NET applications.
