Pilot Light Architecture

Build resources around

replicated dataset

Scale AWS resources in

response to a DR event

Keep ‘pilot light’ on by replicating

core databases

Build AWS resources around

dataset and leave in stopped state

Start up pool of resources in AWS

when events dictate

Match required production capacity

through auto-scaling policies

Cut over to the system in AWS
