Resilience in Amazon CloudTrail
The Amazon global infrastructure is built around Amazon Regions and Availability Zones. Amazon Regions provide multiple physically separated and isolated Availability Zones, which are connected with low-latency, high-throughput, and highly redundant networking. With Availability Zones, you can design and operate applications and databases that automatically fail over between Availability Zones without interruption. Availability Zones are more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single or multiple data center infrastructures. If you specifically need to replicate your CloudTrail log files over greater geographic distances, you can use Cross-Region Replication for your trail Amazon S3 buckets, which enables automatic, asynchronous copying of objects across buckets in different Amazon Regions.

Infrastructure
In addition to the Amazon global infrastructure, CloudTrail offers several features to help support your data resiliency and backup needs.
Trails and event data stores that log events in all Amazon Regions
When you create a multi-Region trail, CloudTrail creates trails with identical configurations in all enabled Amazon Web Services Regions in your account.
When you create a multi-Region event data store, CloudTrail collects events that occur in all Amazon Web Services Regions in your account.
Versioning, lifecycle configuration, and object lock protection for CloudTrail log data
Because CloudTrail uses Amazon S3 buckets to store log files, you can also use the features provided by Amazon S3 to help support your data resiliency and backup needs. For more information, see Resilience in Amazon S3.
