Disaster Recovery Starts With Frequent Rebuilds
In a large part, planning for a successful disaster recovery (DR) involves asking a number of “what if…” questions. What if an availability zone (AZ) goes down? How about a full region?

If you cannot answer those questions positively, it becomes nearly impossible to trust anything built on top of those assumptions.
