🛡️ Centralized Backup Solution in AWS Organization - Because One Backup is never enough!

Data loss in AWS can be devastating, but a central backup account provides a robust solution. This setup automatically copies backups from all AWS accounts within an organization to a dedicated account. This ensures resilience against accidental deletion or cyberattacks. Centralized backups simplify compliance audits and automate the entire process. The system leverages Customer Managed KMS keys for enhanced security and cross-account backup capabilities. Automated alerts and monitoring provide immediate notifications of any issues. The architecture involves application accounts, backup vaults, copy jobs, and Lambda functions integrated with EventBridge. A step-by-step deployment guide details creating backup vaults, configuring KMS keys, and setting up Lambda functions and EventBridge rules. This process ensures backups are securely copied to the central account, providing a fail-safe mechanism. The solution significantly improves backup security, automation, and monitoring. The process requires an AWS organization, enabled cross-account monitoring, and a dedicated central backup account. Careful consideration of RDS backup scheduling in relation to maintenance windows is crucial for successful implementation.
