In an article by solutions architects Dumlu Timuralp and Eric Heinrichs, AWS has described how to achieve business continuity in AWS by using Amazon EFS and Amazon EKS across AWS Regions.
Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) is a managed storage service that can be used to provide shared access to data for Kubernetes Pods running across compute nodes in different Availability Zones (AZ) managed by Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Amazon EFS supports native replication of data across AWS Regions. This feature helps in designing a multi-region disaster recovery solution for mission-critical workloads on an organization’s EKS clusters.
The solution uses two AWS Regions, with each having an EKS cluster and an EFS file system.
