Access Your Data—Even During Cloud Outages
A practical guide for engineering and cloud teams to keep backup data reachable, usable, and queryable when AWS, Azure, or GCP goes dark.
What You’ll Learn
- The 4-step framework to keep backup data accessible during outages
- How to avoid Insufficient Capacity Errors (ICE) and blocked restores
- How to design cross-region and cross-cloud access paths
- Ways to make backups queryable without rehydration
- How to build a cost-aware continuity plan that actually holds up in real incidents
Why This Guide Matters
Cloud outages are rising across every major provider.
And while most teams don’t lose data, they lose the ability to reach it—just when they need it most.
This guide breaks down how to design independent data access, so your team can read, search, and restore data even when your primary cloud region is offline.
“If you can’t access your data, you don’t control your resilience.”
Who This Guide Helps
Built for:
- Cloud engineers & architects
- SRE and platform teams
- IT & infrastructure leaders
- Anyone responsible for backup, recovery, or continuity
If your team has ever waited out a region failure—or wondered whether backups would actually be usable—this guide is for you.
