Description

This will be in the form of a challenge with high-level instructions. Where required, a set of detailed instruction will be provided as an Optional alternative.
You will be provided with a primary site and then be required to build a disaster recovery site. Normally, this would also be done via IaC.

It is important to see the ‘building blocks’ required to see and build such a solution. This could easily be translated into IaC at a later point.
Note: Where necessary you’ll be given either the parameters required to build AWS resources yourself or, if needed, step-by-step instructions/code.
