Cutover cloud disaster recovery demo: AWS FIS

Test and prove Cloud Doctor with CutOver and AWS Fault Injection Service. Testing and proving disaster recovery in the cloud is complex, yet critical for important business services to ensure customer satisfaction, revenue stream, and regulatory compliance. Cutover, a collaborative automation SaaS solution, provides a centralized repository for executable cloud recovery runbooks, bringing together both automated and manual tasks. Let's look at how combining the power of CutOver with AWS Fault Injection Service, FIS, you can test recovery scenarios and easily prove the success of tests to regulators and senior stakeholders. Cutover can orchestrate with AWS fault injection service to validate the architecture of applications that can meet their required RTO. Now let's take a look at what this would look like in practice. Here, we have set up AWS fault injection experiments, which can block creation of new compute capacity in an availability zone and start by terminating compute instances in the AZ as well. Cutover allows you to remove the need to know how to drive AWS fault injection services and provides that centralized view of all your AWS accounts and applications. Here is a scenario where we are unable to get more compute resource in our secondary a z location, and we get to those branching points in the runbook. Initially, you can create e c two instances normally. Then as we trigger from cut over the AWS FIS preconfigured disconnect isolate the secondary AZ template, we introduce a failure. Let's go ahead and launch our EC two instance once the task is successful. We can now enforce the FIS block experiment to limit the compute capacity by passing and triggering the integration with its template ID. You can see in the FIS dashboard that the experiment has been launched. Now if we try to launch another EC two instance, it will return a failure and a message indicating insufficient capacity limit because we no longer have sufficient capacity in the a z that we requested as expected by the FIS experiment. Now again, from CutOver, just clean up any instances by launching another FIS experiment to go ahead and terminate the instances that were launched for my simulation. This is just one example of how CutOver combined with AWS FIS enables you to test, validate, and prove stated RTOs of complex application deployments to external regulators or stakeholders. CutOver and AWS are better together and allow you to continuously improve your application's recovery posture. Test cloud disaster recovery scenarios and ensure governance and regulatory compliance with Cutover's automated and executable runbook platform. Reduce your audit prep time by sixty percent and gain the confidence you need to recover from cloud outages or failures with complete visibility and control.
