Consider a platform team responsible for data protection across a large, regulated enterprise. Over years of growth, the organization now runs hundreds of Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts across many teams and AWS Regions, and each team has configured its own backup approach. The platform team now faces a familiar challenge: how to enforce consistent, […]

Data Protection and disaster recovery is an important part of any migration. Customers often only consider this once they have already migrated, which increases budgets beyond the initial estimate. The AWS Storage Assessment solves this: the same source telemetry that sizes your primary storage also produces your data protection costs. No additional data collection, no […]

AWS Backup centralizes data protection in your organization across hundreds of accounts and AWS Regions for more than 20 AWS services. At that scale, some jobs fail, and triaging each failure manually can take days. Most failures trace back to something small, such as a role missing permission, an encryption key policy blocking the backup […]

Enterprises face an evolving spectrum of threats to their backup data. From ransomware attacks that encrypt production systems and target recovery points, to accidental deletions by well-meaning administrators, to full account compromises that put every resource at risk, organizations can no longer assume that traditional backup approaches will keep their data recoverable. When backup infrastructure […]

A data warehouse is the analytical backbone of a modern enterprise, consolidating data from disparate sources into a single, authoritative view that enables complex queries, trend analysis, and confident decision-making. In financial services, this means sharper regulatory reporting, faster fraud detection, and deeper customer understanding. The operational reality is demanding. Enterprises juggle multiple source databases […]

AWS Backup for Amazon S3 now lets you access your backup data through Amazon S3 Access Points. You create an access point for a recovery point, and AWS Backup provisions an S3 endpoint with an alias that works anywhere you would use a bucket name. You can then read backup data using standard S3 APIs, […]

Many organizations maintain a backup strategy built on the assumption that the backups themselves are clean. Ransomware can sit dormant in your environment for weeks, spreading across production systems while nightly backup jobs preserve it alongside your data. By the time the threat is identified, those backups are no longer recovery points; they are artifacts […]

Organizations today face increasing pressure to protect their backup data against ransomware events and accidental deletions. Although air-gapped storage provides strong protection for backups, implementing it traditionally requires maintaining multiple copies of data which increases costs and adds complexity. This can force organizations to compromise between meeting strict security requirements and managing storage costs, either […]

Hi, I’m Buckets. The official AWS Storage mascot, self-appointed guardian of all things durable, scalable, and correctly permissioned. I’ve attended every re:Invent since 2006, and I have never once missed a storage breakout session. Not even the one scheduled at 8am on a Friday. Some call it dedication. I call it having strong consistency. re:Invent […]
