Need Immutability? – Amazon S3 Object Lock
Immutable S3 Objects
• Write Once Read Many (WORM) Protection for S3 Objects
• Object or bucket control of WORM & retention attributes
Retention Management Controls
• Define retention periods in your app or with bucket-level defaults
• Objects locked for the duration of the retention period
• Includes support for adding legal holds
Data Protection and Compliance
• Assessed for use in SEC 17a-4, CFTC, and FINRA environments
• Extra protection against accidental or malicious delete
• Audit retention date, mode, and legal hold status in S3 Inventory

Amazon S3 Object Lock – the basics
IngestAdd retention controls to the object on PUT… or use bucket defaults to set retention on all new objects
LockWORM enforced based on Retain Until DateVersioning protects against overwrite, deletes are blocked
Retain Use APIs to extend retention, or for legal holds
Audit Review and audit retention information and object-level events

“Using AWS Storage Gateway, Southern
Oregon University switched from physical to
virtual tape backup simply by dropping the
gateway’s virtual appliance into our existing
Veeam workflow. Setting it all up took three
hours, at most. We can now provision virtual
tapes on AWS with the click of a button.”

• Backup and recovery use cases protect data from logical errors such as system failure, application error, or accidental deletion. Backups can be run on-premises to the cloud, either directly to a cloud target or via a gateway appliance, or within the cloud.
• Backup is not archive
– Backup represents a point in time copy of the data
– Archived data is the only authoritative copy of the data

Disaster Recovery
• Customer’s ability to technically recover from a situation where assets critical to business operations are inaccessible,
• Continue/restart core business operations using the recovery environment, and perform both operations within a period of time to reduce business loss.
• Many current BCDR solutions use traditional storage replication and recovery solutions (including Backup and Archive above) that are simply repointed to cloud targets vs. alternative locations.
• BCDR is implemented in two main ways: Cold (e.g. Backup & Recovery, Pilot Light) or Warm (e.g. Warm Standby or Multi-Site)

Santos automates lifecycle management and centralizes compliance with AWS Backup
Santos built an in-house backup solution that required regular maintenance of Lambda scripts and resource snapshots. To meet compliance regulations, they spent time on a weekly basis identifying whether the scripts ran scheduled backups for all applications.
The company increased their confidence by streamlining their backups with AWS Backup. Santos removed their operational burden with automated routine backups, eliminated the maintenance of Lambda scripts, and met compliance regulations.
• Increased productivity and reduced the # hours needed to do backups by 80%
• Reduced operational costs associated with backup by 50%
• Increased accuracy of snapshots from 80% to 100%
SolutionChallenge Benefits
AWS Backup reduced operational overhead by 50%,
saving us days and weeks of maintaining and
scheduling scripts for backups. The ease of
implementing AWS Backup helped us jump-start our
backup automation, which gave us the piece of mind
that our backups meet compliance and removed the
operational burden. Gavin Boyce, Solutions Architect, Santos
