DR tries to minimize the impact a disaster has on applications, restoring them to a usable state as quickly as possible. SRE, on the other hand, is a discipline (and job title for many) that applies engineering practices to operations to improve the reliability and availability of the infrastructure that hosts applications.

You can use these fault boundaries to build multi-Region applications that consist of independent, fault-isolated replicas in each Region that limit shared fate scenarios. However, applications typically don’t operate in isolation; consider both the components you will use and their dependencies as part of your failover strategy.

Even with the higher speed capacity, an SSD has its disadvantages over an HDD, depending on your application. SSDs aren’t typically used for long-term backups, so they’re built for both but are typically used in speed-driven applications. Applications that require fast data transfers take advantage of SSDs the most.
