AWS Backup extends logically air-gapped vault support to six additional AWS Regions

AWS Backup Logically Air-Gapped Vaults Available in New Regions

AWS Backup logically air-gapped vaults are now available in six additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Taipei), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (New Zealand), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Mexico (Central), and Canada West (Calgary).

With this expansion, you can now store immutable, isolated backups that are locked by default and encrypted using AWS owned keys or customer-managed keys. You can back up directly to logically air-gapped vaults, copy backups across accounts and Regions, share vaults for recovery using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM), and safeguard vault access during account compromise using Multi-party approval.

What to do

• Visit the AWS Backup console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS SDKs to get started.
• Review the AWS Backup documentation for a complete list of supported Regions and features.
• Learn more about logically air-gapped vaults from the feature documentation and pricing page.
