advanced strategies for leveraging aws for disaster recovery
DESCRIPTION
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides powerful APIs and services that enable AWS to be used for production use cases, including “pay as you go” disaster recovery (DR) in the cloud. In this presentation you’ll learn about, and see how, CloudVelocity automates processes to leverage these APIs for entire app environments, from the OS to configurations, updates, patches, and even IP addresses. This helps businesses use the AWS Cloud to enable faster disaster recovery of their critical IT systems without incurring the infrastructure expense of a second physical site. The webinar will also demonstrate a live migration of a multi-tier app and environment into AWS for DR, and the impact of automation on DR deployment for the City of Asheville, NC.TRANSCRIPT

Pilot Light DR Concept
“Ignite” Instances as NeededKeep ‘pilot light’ on by continuously
replicating and synchronizing app
workload (group of machines, OS,
libraries, binaries, configs, services, app
stack and app data)

Pilot Light DR – 90% Cost Savings
No capital investmentNo commitmentNo risky capacity planning
Metered usagePay as you go
Avoid opexand risks ofphysical mediahandling

How We Do It
Secure Network Extension
OHC™ Platform
CustomerData Center
OHC™ Platform
• Discover hosts (physical or VMs) in the application and map dependencies
• Blueprint hosts: static and dynamic workload characterization
• Provision EBS Storage Volumes
• Start continuous replication and synchronization of all hosts
• Pilot Light is on after initial sync has completed
• Failover– Launch instances

Drag and Drop Automation— Automation of many critical processes reduces deployment cost
28April 30, 2014
City of Asheville - Before
Uneven Protection— “Urgent” systems protected, “important” systems not
Unacceptable DR Location— DR site 2 blocks away, unfunded $200k DR proposal
No Automation— Virtualization useful but not sufficient — Almost no DR exercises because of manual switch
RTO = 12 hours, RPO = Evenings
29April 30, 2014
City of Asheville - Before
DR excellence (based on traditional IT) was a challenge• High fixed capex, no pay-go• Uneven protection• Limited agility• Geography risks• Limited DR testing – no automation
30April 30, 2014
City of Asheville before CloudVelocity DR
Point of Sale App— Supports event ticket sales at US
Cellular Center, 7500 seat arena— Need for DR: an outage during an
event impacts sales volume until system can be restored from backup; manual sales slows down process
Asset Management App— Used by Asheville to track work
orders, maintenance and infrastructure asset management
— Need for DR: an outage requires restore from backup with possible loss of one day of data and increased difficulty tracking work orders

City of Asheville - After
Pilot Light DR on AWS- No massive capex commitments- Enhanced security versus existing datacenter
Agility and Fairness– Can scale up and down to meet growth- Pay as you go offers fair usage-based cost
Geographic Diversity– DR on AWS West Region, not two blocks away- Local/regional problem – power, earthquake – doesn’t affect AWS
Extended Protection- More apps protected, “urgent” and “important”- Security – implemented AWS, City security guidelines, tested
RTO = 2 hours / RPO = 4 hours
33April 30, 2014
Lessons Learned
• Deep testing of app needed• Don’t take license keys for granted• Don’t test the same day as
Bleeding Heart • Watch out for poorly set-up apps
(plaintext passwords over http)• Internal vs external DNS & certs
34April 30, 2014
The Power of Pilot Light DR
1) No upfront capital investment
2) No long term commitment
3) No risky capacity planning
4) Usage-based costs
5) Geographic locality control
6) Extended protection to important yet unprotected apps
Up to 90% cost savings compared to traditional DR approaches.Enterprise class DR without the complexity and cost of traditional DR
