AWS Backup logically air-gapped vault now supports Amazon EKS. Logically air-gapped vaults are a type of AWS Backup vault that allows secure sharing of backups across accounts and AWS Organizations, supporting direct restore to reduce recovery time from a data loss event.
You can now protect your Amazon EKS clusters in logically air-gapped vaults. A logically air-gapped vault stores immutable backup copies that are locked by default, and isolated with encryption using AWS owned keys or customer-managed keys. You can store your Amazon EKS backups in a logically air gapped vault either the same account or across other accounts and Regions. This helps reduce the risk of downtime, ensure business continuity, and meet compliance and disaster recovery requirements.
You can get started using the AWS Backup console, API, or CLI. Target Amazon EKS backups to a logically air-gapped vault by specifying it as the primary target or copy destination in your backup plan. Share the vault for recovery using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) or access it via Multi-party approval. Once available, you can initiate direct restore jobs from that account, eliminating the overhead of copying backups first.
AWS Backup logically air-gapped vault support for Amazon EKS is available in 24 AWS Regions. For more information and detailed regional availability, visit the AWS Backup documentation.
