Cheat sheet

This cheat sheet summarizes the key points from this chapter:

RPO is the maximum amount of data a company can lose without sustaining major damage.
RTO is the maximum amount of time a system can be unavailable without sustaining major damage.
RPO and RTO need to be considered together to define a backup and recovery strategy.
A recovery strategy can include backups, standby databases, read replicas, and manual scripts.
AWS Backup allows you to create centralized backup policies and plans to ensure that all your databases will meet your RTOs and RPOs.
AWS-managed databases offer maintenance windows that can be configured by the user to control the times that patching or other tasks that may cause a service disruption can run.
RDS daily backups run during a backup window, which should be set during the least busy times for the application to avoid performance impact.
