AWS re:Invent is fast approaching, bringing together cloud and resilience leaders from across the world to explore the latest in automation, AI, and cloud-scale reliability.
For cloud disaster recovery (DR) practitioners, the conference can feel overwhelming—hundreds of sessions, overlapping tracks, and endless opportunities to network and learn. To help you make the most of your time in Las Vegas, Cutover has curated a short list of the most valuable sessions for anyone focused on cloud disaster recovery and resilience.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your organization’s recovery capabilities, understand cloud disaster recovery best practices or dive deeper into AI-powered orchestration, these are the talks worth prioritizing.
AI-Powered Resilience Testing and Disaster Recovery (COP420)
Key takeaway: Automate and accelerate recovery with AI.
This session dives into how to enhance disaster recovery and resilience on AWS using AI and large language models (LLMs). You’ll learn how to automate testing, analyze infrastructure, and generate targeted recovery experiments and runbooks with AWS Resilience Hub, Systems Manager, and AWS Fault Injection Service.
Why it matters: AI is transforming how teams prepare for outages—making resilience testing faster, smarter, and more adaptive.
Disaster Recovery with AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Service (COP356)
Key takeaway: Scale DR testing across complex environments.
Discover best practices for scaling DR testing and application recovery in complex, multi-service architectures. This session covers how to leverage AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and recover critical systems—from databases to ERP environments—with confidence.
Why it matters: Enterprise workloads demand flexibility and automation; this session shows how to achieve both.
Multi-Region Disaster Recovery & Resilience Testing (Feat. Fidelity) (COP358)
Key takeaway: Build cross-region resilience like an enterprise leader.
Learn how Fidelity transformed its disaster recovery posture using Amazon Application Recovery Controller and AWS Fault Injection Service. This talk highlights real-world orchestration of multi-Region recovery, validation of procedures, and modernization of infrastructure supporting thousands of mission-critical applications.
Why it matters: Few sessions offer such deep insight into enterprise-scale DR in production—don’t miss it.
Implementing Human-in-the-Loop Controls for Multi-Agent AI Systems (CNS428)
Key takeaway: Balance automation with human oversight.
This 20-minute lightning talk explores how to integrate human-in-the-loop (HITL) controls into multi-agent AI systems using serverless architectures. Attendees will learn when and how to introduce human decision points to ensure reliability and accountability in automated systems.
Why it matters: As DR workflows become increasingly AI-driven, maintaining the right level of human control is critical.
Resilience Testing and AWS Lambda Actions Under the Hood (COP414)
Key takeaway: Chaos-engineer for reliability in serverless environments.
This technical deep-dive demonstrates how to run resilience testing (chaos engineering) for AWS Lambda-based serverless applications. Expect practical examples of how faults are injected and handled, along with lessons learned from real-world customer scenarios.
Why it matters: Serverless is fast, but it’s only resilient if tested—this session shows you how.
Navigating re:Invent: Practical Tips from the Cutover Team
- Plan ahead: Use the AWS Events app to bookmark sessions early; popular DR and AI sessions fill quickly.
- Layer your days: Mix hands-on labs with leadership talks to balance technical depth and strategic insight.
- Stay comfortable: You’ll walk several miles a day—bring supportive shoes and hydrate frequently.
- Network intentionally: Many of the best conversations happen between sessions or at evening events.
