Multi-AZ Disaster Recovery Without Snapshot Gaps

Keep Kubernetes stateful workloads recoverable across availability zones with near-zero RPO.

Simplyblock continuously streams block-level changes to durable object storage while serving production traffic from high-performance tiers. If an availability zone fails, you can restore volumes and snapshots in another zone quickly and consistently, with dramatically lower data-loss risk than periodic snapshot-based approaches.

Why Multi-AZ Disaster Recovery Is Hard

Traditional backup workflows leave recovery gaps and require complex runbooks. Teams need a DR approach that minimizes data loss, restores consistently, and stays practical to operate.

Snapshot Intervals Leave Data-Loss Windows

Periodic backups can miss recent writes, creating unacceptable RPO gaps for transactional systems.

Cross-System Recovery Often Becomes Inconsistent

Databases, queues, and file-backed services can recover at different points in time without coordinated replay.

Failover Operations Are Too Manual

Runbook-heavy recovery across zones increases operational risk during already high-pressure incidents.

DR Testing Is Frequently Delayed

Teams avoid frequent simulations because staging realistic recovery tests is slow and disruptive.

How Simplyblock Delivers Multi-AZ Recovery

Continuous log-based protection and fast recovery mechanics designed for Kubernetes stateful workloads.

Stream Changes Continuously to Durable Object Storage

Simplyblock writes production data to performant storage while asynchronously streaming changes into a write-ahead log in object storage. This reduces recovery-point gaps to near-zero without relying on coarse snapshot schedules.

  • Continuous protection instead of fixed backup intervals
  • Object-storage durability across availability zones
  • Lower RPO for high-transaction workloads
  • No application-level rewrite required

Bootstrap Workloads in a New AZ with Consistent Volumes

During an AZ outage, simplyblock reconstructs storage state from WAL data and snapshots so Kubernetes workloads can restart with consistent volume state, reducing recovery friction and data reconciliation work.

  • Fast volume and snapshot restoration
  • Consistent recovery points across stateful services
  • Simplified failover execution under incident pressure
  • Supports strict resilience and compliance targets

Test DR Readiness with Snapshot and Clone Workflows

Use instant snapshots and clones to run repeatable recovery drills without impacting production traffic. Teams can validate RPO/RTO assumptions and improve runbooks continuously.

  • Frequent DR simulations with lower operational overhead
  • Faster validation of recovery procedures
  • Safer environment refresh for incident rehearsal
  • Improved confidence before real outages
