Pavan Nutalapati

Abstract: The research explores the role of automated disaster recovery (DR) in enhancing business sustainability within fintech industries operating in cloud environments. It investigates key DR metrics such as recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) and examines tools and techniques such as DRaaS, cloud-based backup solutions, and high availability strategies. The study underscores the importance of automated DR in mitigating risks from cyber-attacks, and human errors while maintaining system uptime and data accuracy. It emphasizes the need for robust DR practices and offers insights into effective outcomes from future research directions, including advanced redundancy techniques and containerization with Kubernetes.
