Multi-Region Disaster Recovery for NXLog Platform on AWS

When an entire AWS region goes down, your log ingestion shouldn't go with it. This guide shows you how to set up cross-region disaster recovery for NXLog Platform running on Amazon EC2, using AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS). You'll get the full workflow, from continuous block-level replication to failover and failback, plus the platform-specific settings that make sure NXLog Platform comes back up exactly as you left it.

What you'll learn

• Why NXLog Platform's containerized architecture (Podman, ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, and Vault on persistent EBS volumes) is well suited to block-level replication

• The reference DR architecture: continuous replication from your primary region to a recovery region staging area

• The prerequisites, ports, and network rules to have in place before you start

• How to install the AWS DRS agent and confirm your replication is healthy and ready

• Platform-specific recovery details: storage volumes, crash-consistent database recovery, firewall rules, and the security group settings NXLog Platform needs

• How to run DR drills in the recovery region without touching production, and how to validate the result

• Step-by-step failover when your primary region is down, including point-in-time recovery

• Failback procedures to sync new data and return operations to your primary region
