☁️ Cloud Architecture — Cloud Disaster Recovery Architecture Kit Demo

• AWS Account with permissions for EC2, RDS, S3, Route 53, CloudFormation, IAM
• AWS CLI v2 configured with appropriate credentials
• Python 3.10+ (for helper scripts — stdlib only, no pip packages)
• Terraform >= 1.5 (if using Terraform templates)
• Two AWS regions selected (primary + DR)
• **Pilot Light:** RDS read replica is the main cost driver. Consider Aurora Serverless v2 in DR region for near-zero idle cost.
