To recovery FinOps Center the application and the database need to be restored to the last know functioning state.

If their is an issue with the application after patching the environment with a new release, return to the ami of the prior release and launch instance. The cdk bucket will load with the previous release. Return to the CloudFormation and Update the stack with the previous releases JSON Object.

FinOps Center stores all of its data in DynamoDB. During the installation, the DynamoDB tables are enabled with Point-in-time Recovery. If any tables needs to be recovered, an engineer can log into the console, navigate to the DynamoDB service, and restore any table to the time of last operation.

RTO Target

FinOps Center RTO is plus 2 hours from your original installation time. This is based on a scenerio where your AWS Account has been compromised and you need to restore the DynamoDB tables from an S3 backup in a new CloudOps Designated Admin Account.

RPO Target

FinOps Center RPO is close to zero as the Cost and Usage Report will be created in the MaterPayer Accounts. Any budget mapping can be be restored from backup but it would cause any data lose.
