third party storage

About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about third party storage focus on integrating external storage arrays with AWS Outposts for stateful high availability. A detailed walkthrough covers monitoring EC2 instance health via CloudWatch, triggering Lambda functions through SNS, and relaunching instances on secondary Outposts servers while reattaching boot and data LUNs from a shared SAN or NVMe array. This pattern achieves zero-data-loss recovery point objectives and recovery time objectives limited by EC2 launch time, effectively turning Outposts server pairs and validated third party storage into an N+1 resilient platform. The content emphasizes practical, code-backed configurations for enterprise IT environments requiring high availability and data integrity.
  1. Stateful High Availability on AWS Outposts with Third Party Storage

    AWS’s Part 3 walkthrough of Outposts server recovery with third‑party storage lays out a practical, code‑backed pattern for achieving stateful high availability on on‑prem Outposts servers: monitor EC2 instance health with CloudWatch, send alarms through SNS, and run a Lambda that relaunches the...
