AWS DataSync

Definition

AWS DataSync is a managed data-transfer service used here as the data-movement mechanism between a primary AWS Region and approved in-country/on-premises recovery storage. The AWS residency-recovery framework names it for copying S3 data into an Outposts or self-managed local recovery boundary.

Recovery role

DataSync is a transport primitive, not a complete recovery strategy. The surrounding design must still choose encryption ownership, replication cadence, restore target, local control-plane autonomy, and end-to-end validation. For database workloads the source instead cites engine-native MySQL binlog or PostgreSQL logical replication.
