How can the user achieve DR?
Copy the running instance using the ג€Instance Copyג€ command to the EU region
Create an AMI of the instance and copy the AMI to the EU region. Then launch the instance from the EU AMI
Copy the instance from the US East region to the EU region
Use the ג€Launch more like thisג€ option to copy the instance from one region to another
Explanations:
There is no “Instance Copy” command in AWS to directly copy a running EC2 instance from one region to another. Instances can be copied indirectly using AMIs.
Creating an AMI of the instance and copying it to another region (e.g., EU) is the standard method for achieving disaster recovery across regions. The instance can then be launched from the copied AMI in the new region.
EC2 instances cannot be directly copied from one region to another. The correct method involves using an AMI.
The “Launch more like this” option only works within the same region and cannot be used to copy an instance to a different region.
If I had to guess, I’d say the answer is:
Create an AMI of the instance and copy the AMI to the EU region. Then launch the instance from the EU AMI
