Resilience in Amazon IoT SiteWise
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 zones without interruption. Availability Zones are more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single or multiple data center infrastructures.
Amazon IoT SiteWise is fully managed and uses highly available and durable Amazon services, such as Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2. To ensure availability in the event of an availability zone disruption, Amazon IoT SiteWise operates across multiple availability zones.

Infrastructure
In addition to the Amazon global infrastructure, Amazon IoT SiteWise offers several features to help support your data resiliency and backup needs:
-
You can publish property value updates to Amazon IoT Core through MQTT messages, then configure rules to act upon that data. With this feature, you can back up data in other Amazon services such as Amazon S3 and Amazon DynamoDB. For more information, see Interacting with other Amazon services and Exporting data to Amazon S3 by using asset property notifications.
-
You can use the Amazon IoT SiteWise
Get*APIs to retrieve and backup historical asset property data. For more information, see Querying historical asset property values. -
You can use the Amazon IoT SiteWise
Describe*APIs to retrieve the definitions for your resources, such as assets and models. You can backup these definitions and later use them to recreate your resources. For more information, see the Amazon IoT SiteWise API Reference.
