An enterprise business continuity audit revealed that our entire analytical lakehouse and data warehouse infrastructure is deployed exclusively in a single cloud region (`AWS us-east-1`). In the event of a major regional cloud outage, power loss, or fiber cut, recovery would require manual cold re-provisioning taking an estimated 36 to 48 hours, resulting in massive operational paralysis and millions in lost revenue. The Board of Directors Risk Committee has mandated strict business continuity targets: Recovery Point Objective (RPO) ≤ 15 minutes and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) ≤ 60 minutes across Databricks and Snowflake.
