Amazon Web Services workloads
RSC protects the following types of Amazon Web Services workloads: EC2 instances, EBS volumes, Amazon S3, Amazon RDS and Aurora databases, and Amazon DynamoDB.
This topic describes a feature or features that Rubrik is gradually rolling out to customers.
As organizations expand their use of Amazon Web Services (AWS), they encounter new complexities in protecting, managing, and securing their data. Complex deployments can be at greater risk of threats to data integrity and operational stability, putting businesses at risk of data breaches, accidental data loss, and ransomware attacks. The Shared Responsibility Model established by AWS makes it clear that, while AWS secures the infrastructure, the ultimate responsibility for application and data protection rests with the organization.
Rubrik provides a streamlined, SaaS-based solution to these challenges with Rubrik Security Cloud (RSC). RSC secures and automates data protection processes for AWS workloads, making sure that data remains protected against accidental deletions, ransomware attacks, and other potential threats. With RSC, organizations can automate backup, recovery, and replication schedules across AWS accounts and regions using global SLA Domain policies that allow organizations to align data protection seamlessly with business requirements.
Protecting AWS workloads with RSC involves an approach that makes sure that data is comprehensively and consistently protected across the cloud infrastructure of an organization. By breaking down the tasks into three main categories, Authorization, Configuration, and Protection, RSC simplifies the steps required to protect AWS workloads. Each category addresses specific aspects of data security, from granting secure access to applying global policies that enable comprehensive cyber resiliency.
| Task category | Description |
|---|---|
| Authorization | For authorization, you grant RSC secure access to your AWS accounts that need protection. You can achieve this through temporary credentials with an assumed IAM role and the automatic sharing of any required encryption keys, as needed. |
| Configuration | For configuration, you set up SLA Domains to protect AWS workloads automatically, according to your business objectives.Using SLA Domains, you can define and manage data protection policies uniformly across different regions. |
| Protection | For protection, you enforce data security by assigning SLA Domains to AWS workloads. If the situation arises, RSC provides quick recovery options for Amazon EC2 instances, EBS volumes, Amazon S3, Amazon RDS and Aurora databases, Amazon DynamoDB, and individual files within or across regions. |
