Disaster recovery for AWS

Disaster recovery for AWS

Promote the AWS RDS read replica to primary

To promote the AWS RDS read replica to primary, see the AWS documentation.

Resources creation via Cloud Formation Template (CFT)

Secondary resources will be created, and the disaster recovery script will be executed automatically by the CFT.

To create the secondary resources via CFT:

  1. Download the dr_Single_Template.json available in the AWS installation files.

  2. Upload the dr_Single_Template.json to AWS CFT.

  3. Fill in the required parameters in the file.

  4. Create the stack.

  5. Once the stack is created, you can now access the Kyvos Manager.

Manual resources creation

To manually create secondary resources, perform the following steps.

  1. Create secondary resources with the same configuration as that of the primary deployment.

  2. Download the disaster recovery script (complete-disaster-recovery.sh) from bucket using the secondary Kyvos Manager node and execute it. The bucket path is <bucket><work directory>/setup/scripts/

  3. Now, you can access Kyvos Manager using the secondary Kyvos Manager node IP.

Note

The credentials for Kyvos Manager remain the same as those of the primary deployment.
