Tough Technical Problems

• Secure, fast and highly optimised inter-region volume transfer across the WAN• Throughput ~5.0GB/h (AWS EBS Snapshot Copy 2.5 – 5.0GB/h)

• Parallelize transfer if necessary

• Incremental copy

– 10% of a volume contains new data 300% faster to sync the volume across regions

• API Management layer to shield jitter and variability• Each API call: monitoring, automated retries with exponential backoff, cleanup upon a failure

• Task level: wrap API calls to give the illusion of “atomicity” – state-based clean up and retry whole task

• Total workflow: Check point. Clean up and retry
