Backup and Disaster Recovery
- Implement a backup and disaster recovery plan to ensure data integrity and availability.
- Utilize cloud-specific services for backup and recovery, such as AWS Backup or Azure Site Recovery.
Backup:
- Regularly create copies of your Linux instance data, configurations, and applications to a separate location, often in a different region or availability zone within the cloud. Backups are essential for data protection, accidental data loss prevention, and quick data restoration.
Disaster Recovery (DR):
- Develop a comprehensive plan and strategy to recover from catastrophic events, such as hardware failures, natural disasters, or cyberattacks. DR ensures minimal downtime and data loss in the event of a major disruption. Implement automated failover, data replication, and backup rotation to facilitate DR processes.
Deploying and Managing Linux in the Cloud
