AWS Backup adds logically air-gapped vault support for Amazon EKS

AWS Backup Logically Air-Gapped Vault Now Supports Amazon EKS

AWS Backup now supports Amazon EKS in logically air-gapped vaults, allowing secure sharing of backups across accounts and AWS Organizations, and direct restore to reduce recovery time from a data loss event.

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 in the same account or across other accounts and Regions.

What to do

• Use the AWS Backup console, API, or CLI to get started.
• 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.
• 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.
