What if the very tools that we rely on for failover are themselves impacted by a DR event? In this post, you’ll learn how to reduce dependencies in your DR plan and manually control failover even if critical AWS services are disrupted. Failover plan dependencies and considerations. Let’s dig into the DR scenario in more detail.

Therefore, if you’re designing a DR strategy to withstand events such as power outages, flooding, and other other localized disruptions, then using a Multi-AZ DR strategy within an AWS Region can provide the protection you need. All requests are now switched to be routed there in a process called “failover.” Multi-Region strategy.
